After we've sought
Our own will be done
Petitioned the Father
And nothing's begun
It's time to back up
And to try again
But with a new focus
To a better end.
Although you are hurting
Worn out from trying
Your lot to improve
But only end crying,
Look not within
But look up instead
Seek not your will
But seek to be lead. Not within man
Is wisdom to see
What should be done
And how things should be
The Father alone
Who dwells up abvoe
He knows your Heart
So just seek His Love.
Forget what you want
It gets in the way
Get on your knees
And Humbly pray,

O LORD I am lost
In a terrible night
I can't find my way
This is a tough fight-
I haven't the strength
My foes to o'ercome
I'm all beaten down
Thus to You I've come!
Forget what I've prayed
I had Me in mind
Give me what's Best
So Peace I can find
Open my heart
To new thinking and ways
Guide by Your Will
My outcome of days.
Give me the Faith
To trust You complete
I yield my will
At Your Mercy seat.
Form me into
What You deem is best
And I am sure
That I will be Blessed.
No more for self
Will I try to seek
But Trust in You
My Life, mold and keep!

In Jesus Name,
AMEN & AMEN


Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

David,

It's wonderful to read your poetry again. This was the first poem that I read after waking up this morning and what a blessing it was. What a beautiful prayer to start out the day with. Of course, I think that this is a beautiful poem/prayer, not only because you wrote it, but because of the Spirit behind it... This is certainly, as your title indicates, something that we as Christians should all try and do for to do so is to be as Jesus Christ was before his Father. I think that it is to be more like Jesus to pray as you have prayed here and to say not my will, but Your will be done.  Oh, and I do desire so much to be more like Him. Amen. Again, beautiful poetry and I'm very happy, as I think you might have guessed, to read your poetry again.

God bless you David,

-Bob

It is indeed a beautiful poem with an important message.  I'm shamefully amazed how many times each day, I have to remind myself THY will, not MY will, because when I get involved in something, I tend to forget that.  

God bless,
   Rae
