Quiet Time With God

QUIET TIME WITH GOD In the quiet time of the evening at the end of the day I hold communion with God while I kneel down to pray He listens intently with kind, loving care As I come humbly before His Throne in prayer He knows all my needs before I even speak And I marvel at how He can be so unique As to take time to listen to my every word And leave me with the assurance that I know He has heard I recall how in darkness I wandered about My life filled with bitterness, anger and doubt But then I made Jesus the Lord of my life When I learned through His death, He bore all my strife So now in the evening when I am alone I take all my burdens to His Holy Throne And there as I pray, I'm filled with His Grace I'm thankful that one day, I'll look on His face He'll stretch forth His arms and welcome me home To live in His Glory, never more to roam So, you see, I am thankful to know I have trod The road that leads me to a quiet time with God Curtis Moorman June 2002 This poem was written in the hope that all who read it will think it important to start each day with God. A quiet time, upon rising, is a good way to begin the day -- just you and God communing together will make your day go better.

Hey,Karen! What a pleasure it is to have been 'located' by you after all these past years. And to find out from Tom Cunningham here on Soup who told me you had commented on one of my poems. Quiet Time With God is the first poem I had published. I'll tell you about it later. I will send you a copy of my book when I get your address.

thanks for your kind comment son my poem, your'e all that we need, and what a powerful poem you write, it's amazing what things happen when we have quiet time with the Lord, we use word for today from ucb and read it with the kids every night then I say their prayers before bed then we pray when we go to sleep also, the lord does amzing things while we rest in his presence in face he does this at all times.. God bless you from diane
