Deep in My Soul

After months of poets block, I feel it has been lifted. I pray this is the case. Shortly before Christmas I began this one and just finished this evening. Sometimes we let life get in our way from spending time with the Lord. We forget that our joys and passion will come when we are close with God. Perhaps that is why I wasn't able to compose very much. My heart and soul were too clogged with stuff. I wasn't able to hear The Lord. This is kind of like a prayer asking the Lord to come and relight my passion. Will it be your prayer too?


Feed My Fire Deep in My Soul

Wake me O Lord
From spiritual fatigue
Stir in me what lies in the depths of my soul

Fuel my fire O Lord
With embers that smolder
Ignite the dying fire in the depths of my soul

Raise the flames O Lord
Cause them to burn
My sins that hide in the depths of my soul

Fan the flames O Lord
That they may dance
And spring to life in the depths of my soul

Feed the flames O Lord
With whispers to my heart
That soak deep into the depths of my soul

You are the only fuel O Lord
That feeds the flames
And keeps spiritual fatigue out of the depths of my soul

Feed my fire, O Lord
Feed the flames
in the depths of my soul.

Praying in the New Year!

Okay here it is my annual prayer. My heart is so heavy this year. It was difficult to narrow down what I wanted to include in my prayer. This prayer is for all of you near or far, known or unknown. I love you all and want you to know that God Loves You today. God Bless You all. Happy New Year and may this be a Blessing filled year!
Dear Father in Heaven
 
What a year 2015 has been.
We have witnessed and experienced many illnesses, deaths, bloodshed, hurts and other horrific events.
My heart is so heavy as a result.
Yet, there have been many miracles performed, healings, church plants and people joining the kingdom and to this we are grateful.
Lord as 2015 comes to a close I take time to pause and consider all that I have and all that I am and can only credit you with much praise.
I know that I am your child but sometimes that doesn’t seem to be enough.
There are so many who have not yet discovered the truth and I can’t imagine going on without them. I really need them to know.
Lord please I ask you now as 2016 arrives, call to each of my family and friends who have so far chosen to turn their heart away,
in hopes that this will be the year they choose to say “I belong to Jesus”. I pray for the day all my family and friends will share in that joy!
When you call to us and we respond, you ask 1 simple thing.
To share the Glory of Christ our Lord with all those who we meet.
Lord I want to serve you faithfully and listen for your voice. This is not possible without you.
Search me and know my heart Lord. If there are any wicked ways in me lead me away.
Help me to keep my promises as you keep yours with us.
Remind me Lord when I begin to stray,
that nothing can ever separate us from your love and when we put our trust in you we will find new strength.
Life gets tough and ugly but every new day is a chance to try again.
Allow me Lord to come to you before each day’s sunset
that I may confess the sins of the day to you and send my burdens to the cross.
Though I may shed tears at night, joy comes in the morning light.
For this I am grateful and I pray this helps me
to be friendly and loving to everyone I meet and all the challenges I try to defeat.
May my actions mirror all the love you have for us especially when I am grouchy and putting up a fuss
I pray this also for my sons, spouse, family and friends.
Each one is just as important and a gift from you.
I am blessed to have them in my life.
And Heavenly Father, should 2016 be the year you call one of us home, I pray as we approach your gates that we will hear:
“Well done good and faithful servant!”
I Bless you Lord
In Jesus Name
Amen.
 These are 2 of my biggest blessings!
 

About Me

My photo
We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
