21. No Time To Pray
So many times
I hear people say
"We are so busy,
And have no time to pray."
So many times
I hear people say
"We are so busy,
And have no time to pray."
I have a sister, and she prays in her bedroom every morning before doing anything else. My husband and I were talking yesterday about how disciplined she is. This poem is a tribute to all,...

I lifted you to the Lord today
as I spent some time in prayer.
I asked God to be near you
and your burdens help you bear.

Whether we speak from our lips
or from the depth of our hearts,
our thoughts and words go out
as we reach upward to God.
I got down on my knees,
Begging you, Lord, please
Take away all this pain
Before I go insane.
This New Year has been foretold.
Your future is at hand.
God knows the fate and outcome
of each and every man.
Travelers in the Sea of Life,
being guided by worry and strife,
floating rudderless toward desperate straights,
drifting aimlessly towards whatever awaits,
My Heavenly Father,
How wondrous are Your ways.
As this new day is dawning
My soul will sing Your praise.

Lord, when I worry about the bills,
Knowing I don't have money-making skills,

She bowed her head, closed her eyes,
As she began to pray.
She said, "Dear God, watch over her.
Keep her in Your tender care today."
Our Father in Heaven
At the closing of the day
I clasp my hands, I close my eyes
I bow my head to pray
I desire, dear Lord,
To cultivate the habit,
Of keeping in touch with You,
Minute by minute.
I run to You with my hurts and fears,
Carry me, Lord, in Your unfailing love.
When no one really understands or cares,
I run to You with my hurts and fears.
Take my hand, dear Lord
Wherever I may roam
To lead me each and every day
So I'll never walk alone
Well done, Judy. Congratulations on another wonderful poem. I'm a fan. I look out for you on the review page to see what you've posted. God bless you, sister.
It all seems senseless
I'm broken in a million pieces
The pain is too much for me
But I turn my face to Thee
Words that resonate in so many hearts. Well done on digging deep into such very personal pain. Keep your faith strong.
Hold my hand, dear Lord,
As I daily follow you.
This journey before me,
You alone can see me through.
