Francois Fenelon
“Talk with God with the thoughts of which your heart is full. If you enjoy the presence of God, if you feel drawn to love him, tell him so. Such sensible fervor will make the time of prayer fly without exhausting you, for all you will have to do is to pour forth from you abundance and say what you feel.
“But what, you ask, are you to do in times of dryness, inner resistance, and coldness? Do just the same thing. Say equally what is in your heart. Tell God that you no longer feel any love for him, that all is a terrible blank to you… Tell him all the evil you know about yourself…
“Say to him, ‘O my God, behold my ingratitude, my inconstancy, my infidelity. Take my heart, for I do not know how to give it to you. Give me an inner distaste for external things; give me crosses necessary to bring me back under your yoke. Have mercy on me despite of myself!’
“In either of these two states I have described, tell him without hesitation everything that comes into your head, with the simplicity and familiarity of a little child sitting on its mother’s knee.”
Deep calls to deep 
So beautiful and true! Our father in heaven knows us like no other, and He alone knows our hearts and minds so there is nothing hid from Him. He understands what we face on a daily basis and will never leave not forsake us. Thank you for this. God Bless and Keep you Always.

Love transcends feelings. His pull is the revelation of His steadfast love. We are all works in progress but it is upon the one cornerstone of His faithfulness that we seek Him regardless of our own feelings.
“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is…” Ps. 63:1
