O Lord, I cannot find anybody except You who understands me

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III







Tell Him: ‘O Lord, I cannot find anybody except You who understands me.’
For with whom I feel safe, I open my heart to Him, tell Him all my secrets and explain my weakness, which He will hear and not despise. I pour my tears before Him and reveal my longing. With Him I don’t feel alone but with a heart that holds me and power that supports me... Without You, O Lord, I feel empty and void of any real existence. You are Emmanuel, God with us... My soul longs for Your omnipotent soul, and longs for what is above the material; the world and all that is in it... Yes, inside me there is longing for the unlimited and nobody will satisfy it except You...
