When there is nothing left but God, we find out that God is all we need. This is my prayer….

Lord, you know me  

I am Your child

I come to You now because

Once again my life is a wreck

I need some direction

Show me the way to go

What action to take

Or do I just stand still

And wait?

I won’t take another step

Until I hear from You

I need Your divine guidance

 

I’ve tried to do this

On my own for too long

And I have failed -

Miserably

So now I humbly

Come to You

As a last resort

You should have been

My first choice

Please order my steps

Your will be done

In my life

From this day forward.

I need Your divine guidance

    That was a good honest and sincere prayer. It was heard and it will be answered. Keep your ears open.

    Oh may the Lord come to thy help

    Then I will know that there is a God

    When I was much younger and poorer too

    A school captain commented

    ‘‘Hello my dear

    You are more HOLY

    Than

    RIGHTEOUS

    I was wearing a holed up pullover

    It was cold…

    I looked upwards and found

    GOD smiling at ME

    Today I have so many
    Sweaters to wear

    But there is no need,

    As I am sitting in a home

    Well heated

    You are so gifted. Every word is so beautiful, well chosen and yet so simple. Thank you.

    I can only write what’s in my heart. I am grateful that it comes out in a way where others are touched and/or inspired. Thank you all for your comments.

    “Expect answers my dear…when prayer is in faith, answers come. whatever it is you’re asking for just believe He can do it”
    keep publishing and thanks for sharing. I’ll do some praying myself.

    I’ve been there plenty of times. The Lord works wonders. He did it for me and he will do it for you. Great write.

    Very heartfelt and honest. Too often we jump out and get ahead of God instead of following His will in His time; I call doing this one of my many “Peter moments”. Thanks for sharing.

    I hope you want mind if I say your prayer to my God. I haven’t found the words. In my opinion your words
    speak a heartfelt sincere prayer, may God bless you!
    If the Spirit sent me to your content, I say thanks.

    Perhaps His silence speaks a thousand words? I’m not a believer as you know, but I know that you believe. If He is not speaking to you, then perhaps your best decision is the right one. Move on…don’t always wait in pain for guidance that either may not come, or you can not hear?….

  • ashan1614 on Oct 13, 2009

    Greg, I have had more “Peter moments” that I care to admit. Each time I do, things do not work out as I planned. That goes to show that I should not try to plan what has already been laid out for me.
