Let Us Pray

Let us pray
with soulful lips
from our hearts
to the Spirit Divine;
Let us pray, and let
peaceful solace us
refine: a thirsty mind
quenched only when 
remorsefully sipped Christ's 
sacrament of sacred wine – 
and the bread dipped in,
for the body, without such
transformation, is a ship
gone astray, on a sea
of corrosive brine – 
let us pray, and let God
sooth our fears, with
shapes of love and
peaceful contours, raptures 
of healing forgiveness – 
let us pray, whereby
with Christ's dearness
more our souls securely 
align, forsaking the
Devil's enticing satyrs – 
restoring blessed light to 
a world desperate with shadows –
let us pray, that we trust only
in our Heavenly Father's
guidance when it comes to
man's earth, and all
Life's Spiritual Matters --

HI Bill; thank you. I always feel closer to God when I pray. Blessings my friend! As far as thoughts go, right or wrong, God is the only Judge -- I have a rule: if what I think I am not able to share...then I try not to think it -- fearing it is not worthy of me.
