My Prayer

Awaken my soul Oh God
I am ready for your power
Awaken my mind Oh God
I am ready for your peace

No longer will I fade away
Today I take a stand
No longer will I be silent
Today I follow in your steps

Tired of the battle
Worn out by the war
But I will not abandon
I will not be shaken

I move as you want me
I only speak when witnessing
I break the chains holding me back
For time is short, and hell is eternal

A very positive poem Jessica, God is love, and he is in your heart, the center most part of your being, your power to overcome the strife, you've been calling your life! Keep digging deep within yourself, your power of love is there. This poem is the type of positive things you should write, it will change your life.
