Prayers at Dawn

I’m ushered into a new day, I walk along its path, As I long to be embraced by its elements, I pray to find the door to the light of redemption. Nothing is within my strength to accomplish, I’m like a turbulent sea, Hoping to find tranquillity in the day I’m privileged to see, I pray, Lord, for rest from my chaotic thoughts. How do I know if my devotion carries a worthy fragrance? I’m just clay seeking acceptance from the Potter, I’m only dust yearning for a place in the palm of the Immortal One, I desire to drink from the river of Your pleasure, O Lord. How can I change the tide? I’m encumbered, entangled, and entwined, O Lord, hear my deepest cries, Bring me into Your light as I draw close to You. March 14, 2025.
