Kim Merryman Poet Quatrain

Restoration Prayer

Lord, breathe in me Your breath of life,
Awaken my slumbering soul.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit,
And I will be made whole.

Remove from me my guilt and anguish,
Cleanse me from my grievous sin.
Here I am in full surrender,
My heart is Yours, Lord, enter in.

Restore the joy of my salvation,
Infuse me with Your love divine.
Knowing You is all that matters,
I am Yours and You are mine.

Gershon Wolf July 29, 2021 at 7:51 PM This is such a majestic write, Kim. And God does breathe a bit of His Essence into our souls, as He did with Adam. (Genesis 2:7).

Christuraj Alex July 26, 2021 at 10:18 PM This, indeed, is a serenity prayer. This, I think, I can surely add it to my morning prayers. Thank you very much for sharing it. Kim Merryman July 27, 2021 at 12:27 PM Thank you, Christuraj!

Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2021 at 8:19 PM This is what I have trouble doing, which is ridiculous for I know the benefits when I finally "let go and let God." I love this part "Here I am in full surrender, My heart is Yours, Lord, enter in." Kim Merryman July 27, 2021 at 12:27 PM Thank you, Caren! The words are easy to write but not always easy to put into action.

Joseph P. DiMino July 26, 2021 at 7:43 PM This is beautiful, Kim; you and God are a majority -- you need nothing else; I don't know that any of us can save the world...but each and everyone of us can love God in body and spirit. Nothing else is more important. Kim Merryman July 27, 2021 at 12:26 PM Thank you, Joe for your beautiful comment!
