Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Jesus Christ, Gospel of Matthew, 6:19-21
My Father:
Today, I am focused on my focus.
With my brain and soul, I want to be captivated by your excellence and beauty. Truthfully, I wouldn’t mind enjoying you with my body as well. There are biblical and historical stories of saints being affected in their physical beings. If you wanted to allow me such a divine experience today, I would take it — bright lights, goosebumps, chills, warming sensations, and all.
However, if such a rapturous delight is not in your decree for my day, can you help my brain and soul? Can you help me to be revived by your Holy Spirit through your Holy Word? Can you make my sessions of prayer experientially intimate? As I walk about and see your beauty in your universe, may I be more awestruck.
Yes God, as the hymn goes, I would like to “be done with lesser things.” I want to be done over-valuing rusting silver, depreciating toys, crumbing edifices, and fading pleasures.
Can you help me today to seek you first and your kingdom? Can you make the eternal more real to my dull head and fascinating to my chilled heart? Can you “open the eyes of my heart Lord” that I might “see you high and lifted up?”
You are my True Treasure, and today, I really want to enjoy you as I ought.
Sincerely, your weary traveler,
Saint Joe
O, that our souls would fall such at odds with the love of this world as to think of it as a traveller doeth of a drink of water, which is not any part of his treasure, but goeth away with the using: for ten miles’ journey maketh that drink to him as nothing! O, that we had as soon done with this world, and could so quickly despatch the love of it.
Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness of Christ
Unfathomable Grace 
Yes Lord.
