Warp and Weft

Prayers - Simple Prayer

Warp and Weft

warp-and-weft-prayerTenacity is clambering up a waterspout;
adversity is a cloudburst from sweeping me away.
Perseverance is climbing back up–
bold in the face of a torrential rain.
Sometimes I feel guttered - washed out,
like it always downpours on my parade.
Help me give my life a new spin again
before this resilience wanes.
 

Playful Prayer

Playful Prayer

playful-prayerNow I sit me in a chair.
Help me not play with my hair.
Give me hands that fold to pray.
Don’t let me think too much to say.
Fill my days with thankfulness.
Take my “No” and make it “Yes.”
Let me play when work is done.
And allow me to make prayer fun.

Coal into Diamond

coal-into-diamond-prayerIt takes years of pressure
to turn a piece of coal
into a sparkling diamond.
Thank You for second chances,
and open hearts.
Allow me a chance to grow in faith.
Surround me with light and hope
as we walk into the future together.

Faith Focused

Help me to build upon the faith
that you've grown in me,
and to use it as an example
and a testament to You.
Teach me that I can overcome,
or at least endure, through it all.
 

Choices and Consequences

Prayers - Simple Prayer

Choices and Consequences 

WChoices_and_ConsequencesIs it Your will for me
to bring this into my home;
into my life; into my family?
Will it enable us to live fuller lives,
to be closer to each other,
to draw closer to You?
Lend me Your wisdom,
as I struggle with this decision.
