God is the God of do-overs, and that should give us great hope. We really can be absolved of our past.
From Acts 22:6-8: “[From the conversion of Paul] While I was on my way and approaching Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone about me. I feel to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ Then he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.'”
The words of this poem are inspired from some of my prayers for family, friends, and acquaintances here on WordPress. Being a prayer warrior is an important element of my faith and witness.

From Psalm 86:5-6: “For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my cry of supplication.
Praying for others through God’s love . . .
Praying with patience and care
Asking God with nothing to spare
Witnessing son’s lasting love for his Dad
Time spent together, making both glad
Bringing empathy and care to a young boy
Cancer rages, but medical staff deploys
Waiting for prodigal children to return
Inviting God, His lessons will be learned
Watching a lost mother, now showing love
Children feeling God’s mercy, from above
Allowing time to heal a brother’s relationship
Now picking up the phone, full of friendship
Battling health problems for years and years
Faithfulness and hope carry on, without fear
Nurturing a relationship, despite great distance
Love flourishes, with God’s constant assistance
Finding life no longer survives through a bottle
Weekly AA meetings turn up a man’s throttle
Moving to a new city, with its new demands
New job arrives, life settles in God’s hands
Feeling empty loneliness, each and every day
Woman discovers love, with so much to say
Revealing unconditional love toward a spouse
Love carries on, refilling this blessed house
Sacrificing His Son for our sinful ways
God offers Jesus, with Salvation today
Praying for others through God’s love . . .

When you’re hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness, that’s when a friend comes through. You don’t even need to ask. They just do it. This is faith in action.
From Proverbs 17:17: “A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.”

From Romans 8:19: “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God.”

You must never sacrifice your relationship with God for the sake of a relationship with another person.
From 2 Corinthians 5:9: “So whether we are home or away, we make it our aim to please Him.”
From Isaiah 49:13: “Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have compassion on His suffering ones.”

Does anyone truly feel my pain tonight?
Feeling run over, with nothing to gain
Nightly tears and torment, dark dreams take flight
Who can reach out with love to ease this pain?
Feeling without life, bleak and cold numbness
A distant, yet strong voice comes close to thee
Light creeps over the horizon’s darkness
Listen! Hear His voice, kneeling on my knees
God’s Holy Word soothes agonizing pain
Turning to listen, He’s never been gone
Leaving oneself with so much love to gain
Now praising my Lord, life hums a new song
My Lord, my God—His mercy comforts thee
Lasting hope, opens eyes forever to see

This poem was inspired by a few of the lyrics from the song “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd. A fellow blogger shared this song, and my poetic craft found a way to bring some of the song into this Christian poem. God inspires!

The Bible is the treasure map that leads us to God’s highest treasure: eternal life.
From Matthew 4:4: “But He [Jesus] answered, ‘It is written, One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”

Forgiveness is the final form of love.
From Ephesians 4:32: “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.”
