To God





                                                  

                                                                 My Prayer.

                              God of heaven above and guide on earth below,
                                            Keeper of my praises and joys,
                                            Taker of all my sorrows and toils.
                                            Hear my words, for I know you always hear.

                                            Fear falls upon me like terrible, freezing rain!
                                            Fear of many things I cannot see,
                                            Fear of failure,
                                            Fear of collapse,
                                            Down, down, down into darkest caverns.
                                            Help me! Aid me for I am blind!
                                            Show me you are here in this struggle of my own
                                            Making.
                                            Give me courage,
                                            Lay upon me your almighty strength.

                                            Have faith you have said,
                                            Only a mustard seed,
                                            Here today, through these words,
                                            I put my faith in you,
                                            Knowing that all you've said is true,
                                            To you be  glory,
                                            To you be honor
                                            To you my words shall sing.

                                                                  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

"That is why we can say with confidence,
           The Lord is my helper, so I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"
                                                                                                        Hebrews 13: 6
                 

                                             Now I feel at ease.
