Something Hindered My Prayer

mething Hindered My Prayer...

Something happened 
when I went to pray.
Something hindered 
What I was to say.

I went to call on Jesus' name.
But things weren’t 
  the same."

I felt that I let the
 Holy Spirit down.
His presence in my prayer 
 wasn’t to be found.

It must have been that 
sin I let creep in.
I needed to be cleansed 
before praying again.

Everything holding me down
 must get out.
It’s God's presence that  
I don't want to be without!

Dear Jesus...  I confess 
my every sin now.
To you I repent and 
humbly bow.

May my prayers be renewed by the
 cleansing of your word.
And may your voice in my life...
 Once again be heard!
