Prayer inspired by Psalm 19:14

Feeble are senses and muddled is mind,
bewildered in this world of illusion
but by shifting to heart, loving and kind,
clear light dawns, erasing our confusion.

Love is the litmus test, which we employ,
though we confess our thoughts do oscillate,
so at times wayward ego does decoy,
for in this realm, we’re far from heaven’s gate.

We are Your child, tempestuous and wild,
so guide us dear God, with your healing hand,
that our words then be both loving and mild,
radiating divine light, as You planned.

Breath by breath in life, each moment we start,
recognising that You dwell in our heart.

Yes, while judging my own contests too, I can often recognise the poems of many poets here, since they follow typical patterns of thought, flavour and expression. Thanks for the recognition, Miranda.

I’m happy these words resonate in your heart, Oliver. I’m not a Christian by religion so I’ve simply shared what a seeker’s entreaty may be, irrespective of belief system subscribed to.

Notes: Psalm 19:14 ~ "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, Oh LORD, my strength and my Redemeer."
