Gift…
It seems as though every time I try to pray … my mind gets distracted
… It seems every time I try to tell someone about the Lord… I get interrupted … It seems when I am feeling the Spirit of God
I find myself doing or saying things I don’t want… It feels like I am being sabotaged!
…This is when I know there are two forces
that work in this world we live in… Good and Evil!
… I have come to the conclusion that this is the way for the Evilness to try to shut out the Goodness
… And this is when I will have to try harder… stay stronger… and lift my needs in “Prayer”
to feel the Goodness surround me and protect me…
“A Prayer”
I come to “You” in prayer–
To ask “You” many things-
Have “You” seen how we care?
How our hearts sing.
Have “You” heard our pleas for help?
Our prayers for our friends-
Have you see how we’ve felt?
Our shoulders how they bend.
Have you seen the hurt and pain?
Of “Your” people here-
Has it been all in vain?
Do you really care?
Do “You” see the hungry and the sick?
Fighting with every breath-
Are some prayers answered quick?
Is that why there is death?
Do you hear our pleas?
Our heartache and our woe?
For the lost families-
That’s why our heads bend low.
Do you see the struggle inside?
We fight it every day-
Could it be we’ve too much pride?
Can we learn as you say?
How can I learn to accept all?
With a love just like “Yours”-
How can we answer the call?
When worldly things still lure.
Will you lead us “Father”?
To do the things we could-
Help us to see farther-
Doing all that we should.
“Lord”, be with your children-
Who need to learn of you-
Keeping us from sin-
Please, be with us as we do.
Be with us every day-
Don’t forsake us now-
We’ll continue to pray–
And teach our children how.
We’ll try to say thank you-
Every day that we live-
For everything “You” do-
And all that “You” give.
Just take care of us-
And forgive us one and all-
Till we learn to be just-
And as Christians we stand tall!
