A Time When I Went To Pray
Something happened
when I went to pray.
There was "something"
that was "in my way.:
I went to call on Jesus' holy name.
But things didn't
"seem quite the same."
I felt that somehow, I had let the
Holy Spirit down.
His presence in my prayer was
nowhere to be found.
It must have been that
sin I let "creep in."
I needed to be cleansed
before praying again.
Everything holding me down
must get out.
For God's presence...
I don't want to be without!
So to you dear Jesus... I confess
my every sin now.
And to you I repent and
humbly bow.
May my prayers be renewed by the
cleansing of your word.
And may your voice in my life...
Once again be heard!
