Prayer to the God of Higher Ways
Posted by Joanne in Poetry, prayer poems on Mar 8th, 2012 | 3 commentsO God of Higher Ways,
O Lord of Greater Thoughts:
You have graced my life thus far
with more than I could have guessed.
In Your thoughts redemption originated;
in Your gift of Christ it was accomplished.
Your heart and mind overwhelm me,
yet Your Spirit brings comfort and peace.
Oh Father,
You know the full number of my days
and the hundreds of little destinies
within each one.
Open my eyes to see them.
Empower my feet to follow You.
I release my limited dreams and desires
to You.
Sweep me into the star-filled skies
of Your possibilities,
into the length and breadth
of Your love.
You have immersed me in Your goodness
and You will do so again—
today, and in the season ahead.
I set my face toward the suns of Your eyes
and will not look away.
Amen.
