Juliet Ligon Poet Lento

When I Pray

Needing to repent, I humbly bow my head,
pleading to The Keeper of the sand.
Conceding to wisdom higher than I,
reading the Word, I pray to understand.

Feeding on bread and wine's divine power,
heeding to God's command to obey, 
leading, the Spirit sustains me daily,
exceeding all expectations when I pray.


Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Ephesians 3:20 NKJV
