My Talk With God

My Talk With God

Hands folded together
I kneel to pray
Something I do
Every morning of every day

Yet this morning I feel urgency
An aching to start
Talking to God
About what’s on my heart

Burdens and fears
What run so deep
Controlling my mind
When I try to sleep

Fear of tomorrow
Worries for today
Clouds of uncertainty
That gets in my way

The Lord knows I can’t control
What is out of my reach
So I pray for guidance
And the ability to teach

Lord, calm the waters
That race inside my mind
Teach me faith
In trying times

Cover my family and me
In your protecting hand
Give me a sense of calmness
Like only you can
