Dear Jesus, my Lord
I come to you,
On my knees I pray
For your help and guidance
To prepare for tomorrows day

Let my mouth speak your words of truth
My ears the listening kind
My heart and soul full of the guiding spirit
My thoughts good and kind

May I remember those
Who have needs greater than mine
Be selfless and generous
Put my wants aside this time

I pray for a forgiving heart
To any who do me wrong
And let me gird myself with your armor
If the evil foe happens along

I pray to keep my mind on you
Lest I should lose my way
Let me be a guardian angel
To someone you choose today

May I be patient and accepting
Not to question your will
I might not understand it now
But in your time I will

Let be an example for you
With my life today
Let me be a guiding light for you
To show them you’re the way.
Amen

Geo; What a wonderful prayer. I echo this prayer for the day too. You captured the Lord's will for each of us so perfectly. It sounds like an angel was whispering in your ear as you wrote. Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Geo,
  This is a beautiful poetic prayer-superb in it's spirit of selflessness reflecting a true servant's heart.  This is a prayer we all need to be praying & practicing.  David

Geo,

"Let my mouth speak your words of truth
My ears the listening kind"

This is my daily prayer...thank you for putting it into visual form...

I also kneel beside you quoting prayers of commitment to our Lord and Savior. I, being lighthousebob, especially need to ephasize in my life the last couple of lines from your poem:

Let me be a guiding light for you
To show them you're the way.

Amen.

A very nice ending...

George I love this from start to finish!
My favorite lines are...

I pray to keep my mind on you
Lest I should lose my way
Let me be a guardian angel
To someone you choose today

I've been praying those first 2 lines. I need to keep my eyes on Him ALL the time.

Very inspirational, very helpful. I'm sure there is part of this special poem that someone at one time or another has prayed. Excellent job!
