I come here before You today
With knees bent I fervently pray
I close my eyes and open my heart
Strength builds throughout each part

I came here feeling the emptiness
Of living a life that was so remiss
Filled with the burden of sin
There just wasn’t a way to win

I ask your forgiveness now
Before You I meekly bow
Please fill me with Your love
Blessing me from heaven above

Thanks to you I walk anew
Fresh as the morning dew
For I have been born again
A living example for my fellow man

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Blessed is your humility, and blessed is His Grace that makes new your soul. Ellie

Lone Wolf,

Your poem is wonderful. I joined you my friend with a repentant heart and full beleif that God does hear and answer prayer... and I too desire and strive to be an example for my fellow man. I guess that makes us family?

God bless you,

Brother Wolf

The door of faith is always open, and so very much needed during this time of our existance. Prayer - what power, what grace.

God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. This was a nice prayer poem showing the kind of attitude which God seeks & blesses. May we all be so humble & be so blessed.
