Heavenly Divine, grant me patience when I am at my wits end,
Wisdom to speak clearly without being offensive or defensive
So that my voice is heard,
My points understood,
To bear fruit and manifest gloriously.
Give me the courage to walk away
When every temptation to do battle is nipping at my heels,
Biting at my shoulders,
Crowding up my head,
Springing water in my mouth,
Sitting on my lips,
In my hips,
In my ears,
And in my fists.
Divine father as I sit here in my imperfectness.
Teach me the value of silence and the knowledge therein.
Teach me to walk in grace,
To be fearless yet wise in my countenance,
To rise when I feel like sinking,
To persevere in seeming hopelessness,
Guide my footsteps and set my course.
Raise the veil from my eyes, ears, heart, and mind
Granting me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
So that I may see, hear, feel, articulate, know, smell, taste, sense
And comprehend all that will attempt to defeat my mind, body, heart, soul, and spirit.

Hello Fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by. I love this site, contents and especially the music. It gives me shudders cuz I remember a love gone bad, but he was oh so right for a while. :)
I still haven’t been able to add the music link to my site. Saw where I needed to go, but whe it comes to getting the link in place, I’m stuck. I don’t have anything on my computer cuz I don’t download music. Frankly, I don’t have the patience it seems.
Inspiring writing. I enjoy it a great deal.
Cheers,
LJ

Great prayer, thanks for visiting my neighborhood and for adding your wisdom to my space.
