My Prayer

Today I give my life to you.
No longer do I wish to bare the burdens
that are not mine.
I ask that you show me your will,
make clear your desire of me.
I pray that I am made whole
through my works for you.
I pray that I live up to your favor
and that I do things in your time.

This is my prayer.
I no longer seek acceptance from the world.
Let my actions speak just as loud as my words.
Let my words be just as pure as my heart.
Let my heart be just as open
as your arms were the day
you gave your son
so that I may have life.
Let my life and my poetry be a living testimony
of my love for you.
