I Am Your Child

Father protect me, for I am Your child
My love for You is great and my feelings aren't mild
I know I do wrong and I apologize
Nothing that I do is unseen by Your eyes
Satan is my enemy and he tries to get me everyday
But I know,Father, You won't let him have his way
I am but a man who diligently seeks Your face
Your love, tender mercy, guidance, and grace
Lord please help me in trials and tribulations
For You are the Ruler of the world and Father of the nations
Everything is determined by Your Holy Word
All are Your subjects, man, creature, and bird
In You, O Lord, I put my trust
I am but a man, whom You created from the dust
Save me God in a troublesome time
I know through You victory is mine
Unto You, My Lord, I cast my burdens
Until I find Your face, I will keep on searching

                                                                             LeAnder 
                                                                                        Graham

To know the Father read his word and open your own heart and look inside. Start by listening to your own words and hear what you say and then be willing to see what you dont want to and be willing to hear what you dont want to and then be willing to change what you find. It is a life long journey but it is worth the sacrifice. thank you for sharing I enjoyed reading your prayer.
