whispered prayers






Silent prayers I have whispered

from a weary heart.

Whispered, seeking answers

seeking help, seeking You

as the days passed, each day another stone

pulling at my spirit, tugging at my soul

leaving me crying, leaving me ever more stronger

seeking You, seeking Your presence

Knowing, always knowing

You heard the whispers, You heard and You saw

as I fought the demons around me

even as I sought You daily, moment by moment

in prayer

silent prayer

whispers from a weary heart, seeking You

storms of this place gathered round me

as the darkness grew ever stronger

my faith did not waver, did not falter

I knew, yes I knew You heard

I know, yes Lord I know

my time, is not Your time

I know, that it is in Your time

that You will answer

as You wait, as You watch

as You draw me ever closer to You

in prayer

silent prayer

whispers from a broken heart

cries from a weary soul

pleas from one that believes

from one that trusts

as I wait, secure in You

When You answered, as I knew You would

responding to the prayer of a broken child

healing began anew, in You

recognizing, all things, come from You

I knew, even as I listened

to a neighbor, to a friend, to the man down the street

they were sent, in answer

what they said, what they did; an answer

to a whispered prayer

silent prayer

from a weary heart

to a gracious Lord, a loving God

joyous now, singing praise singing praise

I stand in Your light

sheltered by Your love, bathed in Your mercy

I know, the songs of this heart

the shouts of this spirit

are to You, for You

for You have heard my whispers

answered my pleas

wiped away the tears from these eyes

wrapped in Your love, secure in Your peace

I stand, arms raised to You

assured of the love

assured of the answers

to whispered prayers

guide me








How I look to You my Lord

guide me

take my hand, walk with me

guide me

as I walk here

there are places of sadness

loss fills the hearts of many

guide me

give to me the words to share

that will bring healing

that will offer a happiness once lost

guide me

that my actions reflect You

and the hope that You offer

as I walk here

there are places of anger

frustration fills the hearts of many

guide me

give to me, Your words of calm

that will bring peace

that will bring healing

to those that need Your peace

guide me

that I will reflect You

there are places Lord

of hopelessness

where once there was a dream

it has been lost, abandoned somewhere along the way

guide me

walk with me, giving to me Your words

that I may offer Your hope

the knowledge that no matter what is happening here

it is but temporary

home is but a decision away

guide me

that I may show You are a Savior of love

of healing, not of hate

You walked with the many

those that were ill, those that were sinners

You healed, and Your forgave

guide me

in sharing that truth

remind me

that judgment in time will come

but not from me, never from me

guide me

that as I travel this place

I share Your loving, Your peace

Your hope

walk with me always Lord, in all things

guide me
