I want to know you more...

"Lord, make me want to know you more."
~The Word Among Us

This was exactly my prayer when I went on retreat one month ago.  And, in the still and silence, the prayer was answered.  That wasn't the only time I have prayed this or a similar prayer and had it answered either!  I remember one Sunday night mass when the young woman doing the music had us sing the song, "In the Secret" slowly and prayerfully and the words caressed my soul..."I want to know you, I want to hear your voice, I want to know you more...I want to touch you, I want to see your face, I want to know you more..." (Andy Park)  I sang the song and wept.  I do so want to know God more!  But I can get so tangled up in the business of life that I'm afraid God gets second billing to everything else.  Let's all try and take some quiet time this weekend and pray this prayer with our whole hearts.  "The Word Among Us" says, "God loves to answer this prayer!"  Love, heidi
