Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s Hidden Life:

“He, when his lamp shot up a spiring flame,
Would thus break forth and climb the heaven of prayer:

‘Do with us what thou wilt, all-glorious heart!
Thou God of them that are not yet, but grow!
We trust thee for the thing we shall be yet;
We too are ill content with what we are.’

And when the flame sank, and the darkness fell,
He lived by faith which is the soul of sight.”
