Notes About The Poem

It's good to just sit down and talk with Him at least once each day. afterall, we are made in His image and likeness so if we feel hurt and neglected now and then imagine how much more He feels it when we fail to acknowledge Him.

GIVE ME DIGNITY

G rant me, Oh Lord,
I nsight that I may see what must be seen.
V anquish the spirit of selfishness within me.
E xpel the desire for vengeance.

M ake me forgiving that I may be forgiven.
E radicate temptation to all uncleanliness.

D o not turn away from me Oh God.
I nstead restore me to Thy favor.
G ive me intelligence that I may understand.
N eaten the way before me that I may see clearly the path that I must take.
I  know that I have disappointed You oh Lord.
T each me Your ways that I may be pleasing in Your sight.
Y ou alone are my God and You are all I need.

                                                                         Amen

Very New Testament. But very clear where it comes from. Keep up the study but more, also the practice.

A pious prayer. We need to pray first thing in the morning.

Sorry to hear someone deleted your poem which spoke volumes for the victims of so many like him. I still remember one little toddler girl who was last seen being led by the hand up the street in her little nighty by a "friend of the family". She was never seen alive again. The problem is so many times it is done by someone the family thought they knew and trusted. God Bless, JB
