Is My Passion Misdirected?

One of my goals for the new year is to learn better how to pray; rather, to better connect with God.  Since I write as a hobby, I thought writing prayers may be a fresh approach to a sacred practice.  As you read these, please know that God is my intended audience.  I have prayed these words over and over.  I publish these here as a secondary act; praying that maybe some of you may connect to God.

Father God, I approach you out of need not want.
I know full well that you are my source--
peace, strength, and wisdom.
All these things I ask for.
You Father, give abundantly; I need just a portion.
Maybe I need more than I think.
Please grant as you see and know my depths.

Your  generosity God is more than I can take.

I have so much.  All around me, life is good.
Why do I feel so dry?
Joy comes easily.  I am satisfied with much.
It's the other part of me that feels numb.
Anger, disappointment, and grief are all short lived.
Is my passion misdirected?
I don't want to feel so cold, Lord.

Your Spirit God gives me life.
