Restoration Prayer

Lord, breathe in me Your breath of life, Awaken my slumbering soul. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, And I will be made whole. Remove from me my guilt and anguish, Cleanse me from my grievous sin. Here I am in full surrender, My heart is Yours, Lord, enter in. Restore the joy of my salvation, Infuse me with Your love divine. Knowing You is all that matters, I am Yours and You are mine. 7/26/21 For Brian Strand's You Choose Poetry Contest

This is such a majestic write, Kim. And God does breathe a bit of His Essence into our souls, as He did with Adam. (Genesis 2:7). This is a FAVE right away for me. Bravo! Inspiring! ~ Gershon

This, indeed, is a serenity prayer. This, I think, I can surely add it to my morning prayers. Thank you very much for sharing it.

This is what I have trouble doing, which is ridiculous for I know the benefits when I finally "let go and let God." I love this part "Here I am in full surrender, My heart is Yours, Lord, enter in."

Thank you, Caren! The words are easy to write but not always easy to put into action.

This is beautiful, Kim; you and God are a majority -- you need nothing else; I don't know that any of us can save the world...but each and everyone of us can love God in body and spirit. Nothing else is more important.
