I sit at your feet humbly Lord,
And ask that you help me.
Restore my peace and confidence,
As to how they're meant to be.

These past 3 years have been so hard,
At times I felt so alone,
Knowing you were there sometimes my only comfort,
Sorrow and pain my tone.

I can't take compliments Lord,
I feel they aren't meant,
Only said out of politeness,
Just like dust through a vent.

I doubt many things Lord,
I've lost my self esteem,
I need your guiding hand Lord,
I want to feel the gleam.

The gift of poetry Lord,
Has saved this humble soul,
Given me new friendships,
Trying to create beauty my new goal.

With your help and understanding Lord,
I'll make it through this wilderness,
With your loving ways dear Lord,
I will again find my happiness.

It's lurking just below the surface,
I can feel it hiding there,
With your love and guidance,
Your will will take me there.

I pray for your strength dear Lord,
To help me get through this,
To let me keep learning and growing,
And be ensconed in bliss.

So with my new found strength,
And some patience too,
I'll be reborn with my confidence,
And all my thanks will be to you.

Oh, I tell you I've been there, Isis. Passions has been a blessing to me so far as rebuilding self esteem and meeting true friends. I hope you feel the same, because your poetry is a blessing to us all.

I can't agree more with you and Michael. This site has been a lifeline for me in times of trouble. God works in mysterious ways

Isis wonderful poem! I think Passions has been a lot to all of us! He's always there to guide us, will we follow? He's always helping us, are we listening?
May you find your peace Isis!

Isis, I cannot help but think that since you found the words, and the courage, to post this, you have indeed found a peace you've not known before.

God Bless.

Isis you have displayed emotion and feelings in this poem that I and many others here have felt many of times. I especially agreed with your "I can't take compliments Lord,I feel they aren't meant, Only said out of politeness, Just like dust through a vent." I too feel that all the time, even still....though I am starting to accept them a bit more But you hit the nail on the head when you said all the thanks will be to Him! AMEN! Great poem! Thank you for sharing!

I loved this prayer that you wrote from deep within your heart. Now this is a compliment to you about words you have written to form a very heart felt prayer that I enjoyed. Please accept this compliment as thanks for sharing your words with us and for being one of the many wonderful people here at Passions.
