Abba My heart... beats too fast. I bow my head, at last. Then, a moment of peace. You give to me, like no other. Father, I call to you, in the darkness of the moment, and forget in the light of plain day. Forgive me. I work hard at repentance, and fall short of my goal, perfection not attainable... on my own. Your Son to me, is the Light of the World, seen in every day that starts, or ends. He is the King from the beginning, he is the King unto the end. Forever and eternity, a twist of stars in the sky. The Spirit that surrounds me, feeds me hope for my soul. That I may yet be, more than trash. That I may yet dare to consider, your wrath has passed me by. I did not deserve it, I did not ask... as I am foolish, and human. Prayers Father, I lift to thee. Prayers for things, only you can see. A. Foster, Ann Foster God bless your day!

What a beautiful, heartfelt prayer poem! I'm sure pastors would like to use it in their Sunday services or Bible studies. Most of all, I'm sure God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit love this.

I would be so honored beyond words, that my poem was spoken at church out loud. They sing praises there, my heart falls to my knees... I lift up every thought... everything that I could give.. Thank you for your kind words. God bless... Please give, print, and share the words any where you like... Ann

Ann Foster, What's in a poem and a prayer from one's we meet along the way. We bow our heads looking to the Son for answers. Enjoyed this final wish 'God bless your day!' -Richard

Interesting that you know that 'Abba' means 'Father' in Hebrew... Most people think that 'Swedish Rock Band' when they hear that word... :) gw

call to you, in the darkness of the moment, and forget in the light of plain day. Forgive me. This is something I can relate to. Saint Kabir wrote a couplet - In bad days all take the name of God, in good times forget him. If they remembered him even in good times, bad days would never come. Wonderful write friend. PS Abba means father right?
