A Moment In Prayer...



Dear Heavenly Father I come to you today,
In hopes that You will hear my prayer in this way.
I come to You thru poetry with hopes You will hear,
Please forgive me of my sins and know that I'm sincere!
I know that Jesus paid my debt on the cross,
So our souls could be forgiven and we could make it across.
Please deliver me from evil - it's all that I ask,
For I know only you have the power to pull off such a task.
I hope that you will hear me and all that I say,
So I can be forgiven of all of my sins in only Your way.
Please Lord help me be cured by the waking of today,
Be healed of these seizures and anxiety attacks - be healed by Your way.
Let me get to sleep now so I can get my rest,
And when I wake up today - Please help me be at my best!
Please help me get rid of these sicknesses once and again,
In Jesus Name We Ask This Prayer With A Strong - AMEN!
