I Pray…a contemplative poem and prayer

I pray

for wisdom

for love

for persistent purity

and for persevering faith.

I pray 

for devotion to truth

a hunger for deep thought

unwavering peace

and unbridled joy.

I pray

for grace amidst failure

the ability to lead others to the right things

a heart that heals

and eyes that speak of sincerity.

I pray

that righteousness would always attract me

that evil would be found repugnant by me

that words of beauty would be spoken by me

and that my countenance would speak of His presence alive in me.

I pray

that I would love what He calls me to love

that I would abstain from that which He does not offer me

that my errors would not be fatal

and that my victories would be revolutionary.

I pray

that my soul would ever be thirsting for Him

that my heart would always beat for Him

that my mind would always crave more of Him

and that my passion would always burn for Him.

I pray

His will

His way

His time

His all, all the time.

I pray

God, be my source, my only source.

Define me, defend me, and have me.

Amen.
