A Time When I Went To Pray

Something happened 
when I went to pray.
There was "something" 
that was "in my way.:

I went to call on Jesus' holy name.
But things didn't 
 "seem quite the same."

I felt that somehow, I had let the
 Holy Spirit down.
His presence in my prayer was
 nowhere to be found.

It must have been that 
sin I let "creep in."
I needed to be cleansed 
before praying again.

Everything holding me down
 must get out.
For God's presence...  
I don't want to be without!

So to you dear Jesus...  I confess 
my every sin now.
And to you I repent and 
humbly bow.

May my prayers be renewed by the
 cleansing of your word.
And may your voice in my life...
 Once again be heard!
