Prayer for grace.

I take the time to ask specifically for what I desire.

There’s what I want, right now, that’s most true for me (maybe to close my eyes and sleep, maybe to have a glass of wine in a comfy chair). Then there’s what Ignatius encourages me to ask for—namely, that I would experience God’s love for me in this place where I am.

I bring all of these desires out before God, openly and without judgement.
