You desire truth in the inward being;
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
—Psalm 51.6
O Thou Great Beholding,
You who know what is hidden,
who see and are not deceived:
your judgment is not harsh, but revealing;
not condemning but discerning;
you do not “pass judgment;” you simply see clearly.
Grant me clarity,
to behold what I have denied,
to see how I have deceived myself.
What I have misunderstood, reveal;
what is unconscious, unveil;
bring my shadows into your light.
Give me wisdom to behold my belovedness,
and how I have betrayed it,
and how it remains.
Help me to see myself through your eyes,
with honesty, mercy, and love,
and to live in harmony with that grace.
