In my prayer time, I often ask God to change me, to give me a bigger heart, and a greater understanding of what He wants me to be. I wrote this poem as a little reminder to myself. Perhaps parts of it will resonate with you too.
Give me a heart
To kindly see
The ones You love
As You love me.
Give me wisdom
For each one
To lift them up
To find the sun.
Give me patience
Through the day
And kindness
In the words I say.
Remind me
That You’ve paid the cost
For all the lonely
And the lost.
Forgive me
When I choose to judge
Or store up anger,
Or hold a grudge.
Give me a heart
When I am wrong
To come to You
To make me strong.
Humble me
When I speak,
To strengthen those
Who may feel weak.
Let me be willing
To lend a hand
No matter how
My day is planned.
Lord, help me be
A morning star,
Reaching up
To where You are.
Give me a heart
So I can give
You all I’ve got
Each day I live.
Give me a heart
That’s filled with grace
And sees Your Son
In every face.
Amen.
Praying God blesses you in big ways today.
