Dear Lord

Heavenly Father, hear my plea,  
Remove my sloth and set me free.  
Inspire my soul to reach its height,  
And fill my days with radiant light.  

Bring peace to soothe my troubled mind,  
Joy for the sorrow that I find.  
Instill in me a hopeful ray,  
To guide my heart through each new day.  

If something’s meant to keep me low,  
Dear God, it’s best that you let go.  
Reveal the souls not meant for me,  
And end what’s not in harmony.  

Protect the path that I now tread,  
And grant me strength where I feel dread.  
Don’t let me waver, don’t let me sway,  
For in Your light, I’ll find my way.  

Calm my spirit, heal my heart,  
Take from my soul each troubling part.  
With gratitude, I lift this prayer,  
Dear God, I love You; I will share.  

Amen.
