My Poem of Prayer.

Where is the change that I seek

The peace which I so desire to find?

Lord, lately I don’t seem to understand

The plans for me which You have in mind.

My heart is heavy

My mind confused.

Will there ever be a “Yes” or an open door?

Because at this point my plans seemed to fall the floor.

I’m not sure where to go,

I’ve no clue what I want to do.

All I know is that despite it all,

My desire is still to serve You.

I pray I’ll make a difference

in someone else’s day,

so that I can show them Your Love,

Your Grace, Your Plan to light the way.

The Bible says that I’m Your “workmanship,”

Which I’ll never understand.

How a lowly unfaithful sinner like me

can be a masterpiece from Your hand.

And if I am this Masterpiece

with so many cracks and flaws,

Why do You continue to love and guide me

when I sometimes doubt you hear me at all?

I’m sorry Lord for this I confess

Is my problem as of late.

I want to follow Your will for me,

But too often I lack the patience to wait.

This is what You test,

My patience and not my Faith.

For You know my mind and You know my heart

And here in lies the great debate.

You see my mind doesn’t always listen

To the things that my heart says.

My heart knows you have plans for me,

For in your Word that promise I read.

I have followed you through the deep dark Valleys

With the Mountaintop as the goal.

Only You know if I’ll ever get there,

But I promise to follow till my days of old.

As I travel this journey of uncertainty

I pray that you will reveal,

Your plans, Your will, Your path for me,

And that ultimately, Your peace will I feel.

I know the answer may not be what I desire,

It may be “Go here,” “Wait till Later,” or simply “No.”

But Lord, wherever You lead I will follow,

Wherever You guide I will go.
