Prayer Asking To Be Taught By God

Teach Me, Lord

Teach me, Lord,

Leads through it all.
Take my hand,
Light my way,
Be my beacon

I am weak
And sometimes so low,
But you give me strength
And make me whole.
Teach me, Lord and Father.
Your child has become like new.
Empty me of myself
So I can live for you.

Your poem is beautiful, Heather. You ask for what we need the most in order to be able to live for our Lord. We certainly need his guidance so we can be faithful, obedient, show grace and kindness. He will help us all the way. We just need to ask in prayer just like you did in the poem. God bless you.
