My Prayer

Oh lord, I feel in despair
and I feel like my world is
falling apart around me.
I shall rejoice even when
feelings of despair consume 
me. 
Because I know you have
overcome the world.
Although heaviness is
present I shall cast my
cares upon you, and look
to the hills for which 
cometh my help.
I shall rejoice in the valley
as well as the mountaintop!
Oh Lord, I trust in you 
and know this feeling well
pass.
Although sadness is present 
living waters flow within
my soul and the joy of the
Lord is my strength.
I recognize each emotion
but it will not consume
me.
My walk with you is based 
on truth and faith.
Living waters flow through 
my soul and I'm being made 
whole day by day.
I obtain new mercies each
day.
I am your vessel oh Lord,
let thy will be done in 
my life.

A poem of total surrender to the Lord, as you know that He is the source of the Living Water. Once you drink from that fountain, you shall not thirst. Life can be joyous and painful. But God gives the hope to wade through life and will lead you to safe shores. Beautifully written dear Alexis.

I enjoyed reading your testimony of faith in your written prayer. Life is not easy sometimes it is very hard and sometimes we feel almost impossible, but He is always there for us. Thank you for sharing this testimony and for dropping by my page. Sara

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 NIV Beautiful prayer my friend,
