I was reading a devotional based on some of the text found in Psalm 103. The reading and the Psalm provided me with an urge to write this poem. The Psalm is filled with many inspiring verses. Here is one from Psalm 103:8:
“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”
Morning arrives quietly with much on one’s mind
Wanting to reach out in prayer for God to find
Psalms surround one’s inner soul with a frame
Blessing the Lord, blessing His Holy name
Thoughts go to one’s inequities and life full of sin
Asking the Lord for patience and forgiveness again
The Lord redeems one’s life from the Pit
Seeking to be closer to Him is where to sit
God fills all with His steadfast love and praise
Helping everyone make it through life’s maze
The Lord is merciful, gracious, and forgiving
Praying to Him deepens a person with living
This time of prayer offers much humbleness to the Lord
Slow to anger and abounding with so much love in store
A prayerful moment prepares a heart for a great day
Spending precious time with God who has much to say
Psalm 103 was my evening Psalm this past Sunday. (Nice coincidence.) Enjoyed your inspired meditative poem!

Beautiful prayer! We must begin each day with God. He does fill our hearts with his love and mercy. Because of that, we are able as you have said so eloquently, to face the maze of life with confidence.
