Faucet or Current?

currentlife
Even when I get around to meditating
God’s assigned to his place, his time, his role…
Oh, I ask that he direct my actions, that he lead me,
that I manage to surrender control to him,
not my will but his…but then meditation’s over
and far too often the spigot’s closed,
connection lost, conversation to be continued.
I need that if it’s all I can have, but it’s not.
I need the times I sit to meditate, to study, to pray,
but I need the connection, the God-presence,
the peace, the sanity day by day, minute by minute,
every second of every day. I get disgusted
when the computer won’t connect, when the power’s weak
but oh, how much more I need the continuing river of power
in my life, flowing through me, all the time,
God directing me through the current.
