A Night To Pray

Every night in my bed
Before going to sleep I bend
My knees, bow down my head
And whisper a prayer—
To the Lord my God, my Saviour;
That I may be safe from any danger…

I am praying for protection
Much more for my salvation
And strength to carry on—

I am going to a journey
To an unconscious state of my body;
Lying like dead in bed
In the middle of the night—
I should not forget to pray
For I know only His GRACE
Can allow me to see
The tomorrow’s morning light.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
