Hold me in your hands
Keep me safe in your care
Love me with your holiness
Open the paths that lead me
Safely back to you
Tag prayer
I Will Trust
Through cruel sorrows
Suffering and despair
I will trust
When summer scorches
And rains begin to flood
I will trust
When drowned by tears
And hearts are torn apart
I will trust
When night prevents
The sun from shining
I will trust
We are created
We are loved
I will trust
Victory
God loves you
And He loves me
His grace abounds
Forgiveness free
I hear His voice
I feel His touch
Joy overflows –
Sweet victory
Hope against Hope
I will be very still
And wait for peace to descend
I will pray my night prayers
With my eyes tightly shut
I will forgive and forget
And hope against hope
Raging Battle
Flesh and spirit
At war
One against the other
I thirst
From the battle that
Rages on
I long for waters
To satisfy
My soul pleads
For rest
For peace
For grace
Watch Over Me
For all my failings
Weaknesses and more
You are my strength
The one that I adore
I am your child
So Lord I pray
Walk beside me
Watch over me today
Empty Vessel
My soul cries out
Wherever thou may be
Kiss my heart
That I may feel thy love
Father divine
I fall at thy feet
An empty vessel –
Use me
For thy will
Praise
An Acrostic Poem
Prayers from my heart
Reach the One whom I
Adore and in his mercy
I receive love and grace
Supplied abundantly –
Everlasting peace
Living God
I will seek Thee Lord
With all my heart
For Thou alone can satisfy
When other waters fail –
My living God will quench my thirst
Unsettled
An unsettled cloak settles over my unpeaceful mind – furious teeth gnawing at disintegrating harmony, an inner life in strife with the natural, heaven and earth, dark and light, black and white, peace and war, tears and smiles, confusion and conflict reigning, God be with me, and with us all.
