I know You're there,
but where?
Worries are poking at me,
sharp-clawed:
my job, my family, my life.
I can't feel You today,
and I am afraid.
Where are You?

Please make Yourself present--
clear and tangible--
let me feel You near me
in the common moments of my life,
in my breathing and being,
in my most terrifying
and trying times.
Take my fears away.
Help me go past them,
to peace.
