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
From James 5:16: “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.”
I was just writing about prayer this morning, and this beautiful poem encapsulates so much of what was on my heart. I’m thankful and amazed that we have audience with our All-Knowing, All-Loving, All-Powerful King and Lord. ♥

Thank you Jim. I reworked the poem from its original text with some minor editing. My “Monday Memories” series has been well-received.
