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
Reaching out to the Father, with a prayer to find
Psalms surrounding one’s inner soul with a frame
Blessing God the Father, blessing His Holy name
Thoughts move to life’s trials, several filled with sin
Asking the Lord for patience and forgiveness again
The Lord redeems this wayward life from the Pit
Seeking to be closer to Him, finding a place 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 with much to say
Spending moments with God, like a potter molding clay

Do you think the prayer makes us stronger mentaly?

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.
