Teach Me to Seek You

O Lord

teach me to seek you,

and reveal yourself to me

when I seek you.

For I cannot seek you unless

you first teach me,

nor find you unless

you first reveal yourself to me.

Let me seek you in longing,

and long for you in seeking.

Let me find you in love,

and love you in finding.

- Ambrose of Milan, c. 340 – 397 via T.Wax
