Help Me Do Your Will, My God

My God, here am I with my desire to do Your will* Though I’m not worthy... such I'll strive, triumphantly, fulfill Cognizant of Your might I must depend on, totally still… Help me; keep my soul marching toward service-hill. My Lord, in my perseverance to do Your will with diligence You alone can uphold my patience and persistence While granting me peace midst worldliness-turbulence… Help me; keep my faith focused unto You in my worship’s reverence. My Master, I vow to do Your will and in You, abide Yet, I admit my inability; thus I need You as my Guide Enable me to perform joyously as I prudently decide… Help me; keep my heart in Your love so I won’t backslide. My Saviour, You’re my example in doing God’s will for Your glory That reaches out to others, leading them from anxieties’ misery By Your grace, overcoming slothfulness and its destructive injury… Help me; keep my spirit trusting Your assured victory.
*Luke 11:2 …When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. July 29, 2019

Such a well-constructed piece based on the Lord's Prayer Beata, lovely rhyme and insightful thought too. Wonderfully penned my sister!
