I humbly profess that You, my Father,
are due a devotion that is continual,
just as you are, with no beginning and
no end, but I find myself lacking.

Ever loving and patient you wait for me
to hurdle my many weaknesses, for my tears
to well up in welcome, for my voice
to lift to you in song, for my pen to write
to you in verse.

Lord, I need you
to walk with me through this life;
to talk with me through this walk,
let me ever seek your comfort
your voice as one of a faithful friend,
warning me where my path is faulty
and filled with transgressions.

To your guidance open my eyes.
Your knowledge Lord, please give me more.
To your love, draw me ever near;
Lord never let me go.
In my heart build your temple that you
may know my every contemplation;
let my prayers be unceasing.

Lord each morning my earnest plea is threefold,
to grow a little closer to you each day, that my life
be my prayer to you and that I
will come to my close
without an amen

What a wonderful prayer... one that should definitely be unceasing for us all. *S*

I am so glad you posted this here, and what a powerful prayer you have written here, and I loved your concluding last line the most.

thank you both, I used to be cursed by my pen, the servant of whatever it would write, now I feel blessed by it
