Morning Prayer from A to Z

Almighty God, I come to You this day,

believing that as I draw near to You,

certainly, You will hover close to me.

Dear Lord, I love You and focus on You,

eliminating distractions of mind,

forgetting what’s behind, pressing forward,

grateful that You love me and hear my prayers.

Here, with my whole being, I worship You.

I know that You are worthy of all praise.

Jesus, thank You for coming to this world,

kindly and lovingly taking my place.

Lord, have Your way in my life, and forgive

me for my unbelief and selfishness.

Now, I come to You for help and guidance.

Open my eyes that I may see Your plan.

Prepare me to do Your will by Your grace.

Quietly, I wait and listen to You.

Remind me, please, of all that concerns You.

Spirit, come fill me now and help me pray.

Today, bless and watch over us. Grants us

understanding, wisdom, faith, grace, joy and

victory over thoughts and bad habits

which may trip us on our earthly journey.

Excuse us for all the times we displease

You. Help us walk in step with You with great

Z eal, increasing in love for each other.

The Rescue

The City of Kilkenny,

On the banks of Nore River.

While high on a balcony,

Saw scene that made me shiver.

A boat drifting speedily

Toward some dangerous rapids.

They awaited greedily

As river grew less placid.

Kids within grew panicky.

I held my breath in worry.

The two screamed most drastically.

Someone had better hurry.

I said a prayer earnestly,

And soon I heard a whirring.

A boater came purposely.

Tears had my vision blurring.

The man performed heroics

And saved the kids I pitied.

God is Lord of aquatics

And Lord of all the city.

Abstract

You Know that Feeling?

Up and down

Around the bend

With a whoosh

And a wish

And a flying somersault

Whirring and wheeling

Fantastic fun

And a umph

And an ahh!.

Vacation Time

Run-over-feeling

Laying here with my tongue out

Got on my last nerve

Dreams of Ireland and Scotland

Recharging and refreshing

Morning Communion

In this quiet hour,

My attention is on You.

Please, draw near to me.

Lord, You are my everything.

Yes, You are my all in all.

I’ll draw near to you,

So all is as it should be.

I made the first two,

So we could walk together.

And so, my love, walk with me.

Love of the Supernatural Kind

A couple in love

Intimacy of the heart

Unconditional

Acceptance blooms like springtime

I feel like this about You

Even in anger

My heart is only of love

My desires are pure

I long for intimacy

I just want the best for you
