Dear Lord, lead me in the right paths Where love and faith are so alive Giving me the ability to finally give back A small portion of all that you’ve given me Dear Lord, guide me along life’s road Where goodness and kindness fulfill All the chances for giving unconditionally Of the love you’ve sent on wings of serenity Dear Lord, help me to grow in the spirit To reach other hearts with your meekness And turn someone else toward your love With compassion that is sent down from above Dear Lord, teach me the right way to live Fearing the wrong choices and worst sins Expecting your words to reach deep within And fill my heart and soul with your purity Dear Lord, send me the answers to my prayers The ones where I ask you to fill me with sincerity And a generous spirit that is able to give freely To answer the needs of those who you’ve sent me Dear Lord, whisper sweet inspiration to my heart Giving me the ability to understand your words And give more freely of all you have encouraged Hope, faith and love that comes from all that’s Holy Dear Lord, accept me when I can’t accept myself Show me the right way to go when I try turning back So that I move on and grow in the way you intend With a sense of joy that enlightens my heart within Dear Lord, ensure me that my faith will sustain me And that while I’m living your love will stay inside me Giving to the ones who are needy and poor in spirit With the ultimate purpose of sharing what you’ve given Dear Lord, enlighten me when I feel so lost in the dark Share your deep wisdom when I’m needing your strength Be a guide to me when I can’t find my way past the pain And let me live my life for you, forever living your way

God be praised for this prayer-poem of yours. I especially like this stanza: "Dear Lord, help me to grow in the spirit To reach other hearts with your meekness And turn someone else toward your love With compassion that is sent down from above." This morning, the Holy Spirit prompted me to share the Gospel with two young ladies before I taught in our Bible School. What a joy to see them professing their faith in the Lord.
