Lord, may I never be free from wanting you - Evening Prayer

Lord, I’m not free –
but who wants to be?
You’re all that matters in my life.
I don’t want to be free of my hunger
for your bread.
I don’t want to be free of my thirst
for your word.
I don’t want to be free of my desire
for your will.
I don’t want to be free of my longing
for your presence.
I don’t want to be free of my need
to be taken up,
taken over,
joined to you.
Lord, may I never
be free
from wanting you.
