Prayers Answered, Faith Restored

I wrote this for myself and wanted to share it with you. It is a 40 Line poem.

40 Lines


We ask you in our hearts today,
Forgive us, Jesus, for we have sinned.
How shall we survive? Free us from
our guilt and shame. Throughout our
lives, the burdens we carry will eat us
alive. Only you have the power of
deliverance. Dwelling within our souls
are pain and agony. You can make us
whole by cleansing and purifying our
hearts. You can wash away the darkness
that floods within us. We will see the
lightness of your kingdom. The music will
be playing. Showers of blessing will come
down upon us with an abundance of love.
We will have rejoicing in our hearts. We will
be content by singing songs of praise. No
longer will we be dwelling in our sorrows when
we turn to you.

When we are baptized in the water,
and receive the Holy Ghost, we will
become a new creature, the old self
will be gone, and the new self will
come out. This doesn't mean that we
won't be going through trials, it just
means that we can find peace in the
midst of the storms. Always remember
to pray. God never fails; he loves you
with all his heart. It's an unconditional
kind of love. Faith comes by believing.
Even though you can't see God or His
Son, Jesus Christ, the presence will be
felt in your lives. Ask for their guidance.
They will never leave you nor forsake
you. You will never go wrong. They
won't disappoint you. You will find that
your prayers are being answered, and
your faith has been restored. God and
Jesus Christ are the best friends you
could ever have. What more could you
ask for?
