Back To The Morning

Back To The Morning

When I lay my head down at night
I think back to the morning
In Love’s pure light.

To the time I read Your Word.
And I prayed for the day.
I know You’d heard.

Sitting by the window with light shining in,
Lift up my prayers
What a Way to begin.

Letting Your Word stir my heart,
Even though we
Might seem apart.

                                         Then prayer for those near and far.                                        And a meditative heart
About those who’ve crossed the bar.

When I lay my head down for the final time,
It will then be there – Morning.
It will be sublime.

In the morning, it’s great to meet with the Lord through His Word and prayer, but as the day wears on, many times, we forget being in that quiet time.  As night is upon us, we can think and feel as we did in the morning, becoming close to the Lord again, and that is so wonderful!

A Prayer for America

A Prayer for America

Dear God,

Thank You for our great country,
You’ve preserved throughout the years.
Birthed and sustained with blood
And with a great many tears.

Thank You for this country
Which You’ve blessed,
Times over and over,
Making us so prosperous.

We thank You for how
To other countries a help we’ve been
Looking to us in bad times:
Trouble, illness, poverty, just when.

We pray for our President and family,
Senators, Representatives, Judges, too.
Governors, Mayors, Councilmembers,
Just to name a few.

Looking toward You
May they seek Your wisdom,
Not their own,
In actions and decisions.

We pray that America turns
From our wrongs against You,
That You will forgive us
For all the wickedness we do.

We thank You for blessing America.
We praise Your Name above,
As You’ve granted goodness to America
Thank you for your love.

In Jesus name, Amen.

On this, our Independence Day, we take time to thank God for our country.  Also, as at no other time  in the history of our nation, it is time that we change and ask God for forgiveness for breaking His commandments; and then He will heal our land.  (See the Holy Bible  – 2 Chronicles 7:14.)  It’s time also for us to trust Christ as our personal Savior (if we haven’t); and then to bathe in His wonderful grace.

I welcome some new followers today!  I am so glad to have you, and all others reading these poems.
