A PRAYER TO MY SOURCE
Dear Lord,
I come to you this day with a broken heart
And with so much to say
I am on my knees.
My palms are placed together and
My fingers are tightly interlocked.
My head is bowed and
My eyes are closed.
Where am I to start
I haven't been so good lately
And I don’t feel good
I am torn in three
One part of me is confused
The other is lost and
The last part seems to be drowning in apathy
Right now it seems like my world
And everything around me is falling apart
I want to try to fix things but
I can not do it on my own
I have to trust someone
Lord it is you that I look up to
I love you and I trust you
You are God and you keep
Your promises
It is not like you can not break them
Because you can do everything
But I know you won’t
Because I cling unto you
Lord you are my source
You are the source of my being
lay your hands upon me
Today and heal me
Heal my heart
Heal my emotions
Heal my spirit
Heal my body
Heal my soul
Lord you are my source
You are the strength for my day
The wisdom for my task
You are the comfort for my soul
The grace for my battles
And provision for each need
You are my understanding for each failure
And my assistance for every encounter
You are my source
The source of everything
I have come so
My source can resuscitate me
Please fix me
Please hold my hand and
Help me. .. help me walk through this
I think I have more to say but
I just can't put them into words
You see me Lord
Not just how I look
How I speak or what I do
But you see my heart Lord and
You know what I need
Do unto me O’ Lord that which my heart desires
Restore strength, zeal, passion and peace
Above all let your will be done
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen
Amen.
