As I Knelt Down To Pray
As I Knelt Down To Pray…
Last night, as I knelt down to pray.
I was at a loss for the words to say.
So much to pray for. It was overwhelming.
I thought about what life is becoming!
People’s heartaches.. I’ve heard a few!
What, in the world, is one going to do?
I prayed for the many lost souls around.
And for the joy in many that can’t be found.
I prayed for many difficult situations.
And for many to receive God’s gift of salvation.
I asked God to cleanse me of my sins.
As each day, a new journey in my life begins.
I asked God to inspire me to share him with others.
And not forget his command to love one another!
I asked God to forgive me of wrongs I committed.
And to forgive me of people that I’ve “omitted.”
I asked God to bless those who’ve meant to harm me.
And to help others, whether or not they love me!
I asked God to help me to stay on the narrow road.
And to trust him, even when I’m carrying a heavy load!
I ask you now Lord Jesus, to have you way in my heart.
From your spirit’s direction...
May I not depart!
May I keep close to me, the love that you’ve given.
And be humble in knowing my sins are forgiven!
May you help me to be your example that will shine.
While I am still here. And still have the time!
Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer to you!
I am honored for the opportunity just to know you!
