Am I shrewd enough to know

These things called happiness and joy,
Sorrow and grief, and to know them
With the proper respect
Of my world around me,
Of my reality?
What is my purpose, God?
Are You there? Do You care?
Or am I just a hopeless byproduct
Of random genetic tampering
And the supercilious laws of science?
I want to know; I want to see Your face.
I'd pray in earnest if I knew what to pray,
For my fears haunt my rationale
Like a cancerous gloom...

If you wrote that out of your own puzzlement at life, read this if not... ignore me entirely. You can only know who you are and what you are by letting go. Let what you were leave you behind and clear it out to make room for the new man you are to become. It's so surprisingly simple. God is there, and he cares more than you can ever imagine to begin to comprehend. You know it very well otherwise you wouldn't be asking such a silly question. as for a "hopeless byproduct...", well that's getting carried away if you ask me. You also know that's not true. And you know very well what to pray, you stated it in the previous line.You want to see his face, you want to know, that's all. Pray for that.

I think that was a lovely prayer, Chris. It is one that I pray often. Don't let anyone tell you that it is not valid. If they do, ask if they have ever read the Old Testament.
