Dear Lord, I Need

Dear Lord, I Need Dear Lord, I need your loving power from microsecond to the hour. You provide my life’s foundation, the gift of pure salvation. Dear Lord, I need your wise provision for all small and large decisions in accordance with your will as you whisper, “Peace, be still.” Dear Lord, I need you in the storms that pass with their alarms and strife that makes us cry when giving up some dreams that die. Dear Lord, I need your daily grace my grievous faults to all erase bestowing great your goodness kind each given day and for all time. Dear Lord, I try to do my best to pass this Earthly journey’s tests but for my needs to be complete please let me know your “Mercy Seat.” 8/25/17

I agree w/the other talented poetesses/poets that this is supremely beautiful prayer poem, Janis. You ordered your thoughts well in communing w/the Lord. The Lord asks us to come and reason w/Him, lay bare our complaint. Yours is an inspiration to read. Magnifique poetry! Love and joy always.

I love how you approached this as a prayer. You have said it all, Janis. I don't know how I can come up with anything to compete with what you and others have been showing us in your prayer poems.

Faith is belief. We seek to believe in something other than ourselves. Thanks.
