Before I Make a Sound Good morning Father I approach your mercy my face upon the ground Another day I ask for grace before I make a sound Forgive me Lord for I have been undeserving of this time Help me to be a light with strength and giving shine Touch me God as I touch the world that follows me each day Hold my clumsy tongue until you give me things to say Be with me as I step from this slumber and explore abundant grace Walk with me and navigate as I wander forward through the race Deliver joy to my fading heart Glow from within my soul Pull from me this aching heart and fill me with your control Amen.

As soon as my printer is working I'd like to put this on my ceiling so I really do pray this.. before I make a sound. Would that be ok with you? I really love this. Its so important to come before the Lord, humbly, every day, as we rise. Always God's Girl, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

(sigh) Penitence is a wonderful method in embracing God, to ask for forgiveness from guilts and heartaches and this is a wonderful prayer in seeking it! (big hugggsssss) It's all there at the tip of your tongue, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Timothy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

God Bless you all, I'm off to work in a minute, but I had to com eonline and see if I had any responses. I was really kind of afriad to see the ones for this poem; it is a little bit more simple than most of my work. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much, this will make my day go so much beter, as this prayer also does. - Tim He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Just as a helpful note here, if you ever need to edit your poem or reply after the fact you can do so by clicking the icon just above your post. As far as the content of your poem is concerned, although I do write both, I do like simple and easy in which I can relate to poetry. I felt that this was a very humble morning prayer to God and a most wonderful way to begin your day. Though we may take it for granted, each day is a wonderful gift from God and it is most impossible to know for certain all that God has done for us to protect us and to guide us and walk with us through each and every passing day. Just a beautiful poem/prayer to remind me of how very very good God truly is to us. (Amen) Thank you and God bless you. -Bob |

GG- I am so glad you enjoyed my poem. Print away; the thought that something I wrote could bless you or maybe help start your day with the Lord is incredible. Joyce & Deb - Thank you for your comments. This is not one of my favorite poems, and was reluctant to post it, but it still means a lot to me. God bless you both. Noah - You always have such a great way of responding and it is always a blessing for me, when you post a reply on my poems. Thank you very much. Bob - You of all people have been a great help as I am slowly, ever so slowly, learning about this posting stuff. Thank you so much for the editing advice; I was trying to figure that out. Thanks man - Tim He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 |

Hi, All I can say is Amen. Great! I read this poem to my sister in arkansas. She actually said she needed this poem. We cry a lot from sheer joy that God loves us. In the Spirit, Whippoorwill |

I have also printed this poem and today of all days, I couldn't have read a more appropriate prayer, and for that, I truly thank you. Amen |

Hold my clumsy tongue until you give me things to say Wow, amazing poem. That is my favourite line. I really have that problem, I always say the wrong thing and words come out of my mouth jumbled, not in the right order and not making any sense at all. I agree so much to the whole prayer. I will for sure keep it and read it often. Thank you. |

Thank you for your response. I have not posted for a while now and was so happy to see a new response to an old post. I have been going through some difficult soul searching lately and could use your prayers. I hope to be posting again soon. Thank you and God Bless you - Tim |

"Glow from within my soul Pull from me this aching heart and fill me with your control" We should all ask for such things. I really like the format of this one as well. What a beautiful prayer! Oh, make me Thine forever |

Amazing!! This poem yet simple is absolutely astounding. It reminds me that even a silent prayer to God makes all the difference and, that it does not matter how short or long a prayer is as long as it comes from the heart. Thank you for sharing this prayer with me for it truly does touch my heart and makes a hugh impact on the way I will start my day. |
