An April's Ponderings And Prayers Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

I come to them unafraid and heavily knowing
that their eyes are on the world’s riches
and how can I ever know Your sowing
in their hearts I pray You reach the niches
of their every bone and make them owing.

My Lord, my loved ones don’t see You.
They don’t think I could ever be Yours.
They say I lack compassion and I do,
but You can show it where I’ve non or
could there be any gift missing? I need You.

My mate is far away and I do miss him
Even thought he’s not accepted here yet.
I pray that I would gain strength again
to battle Satan that crawls as they let
him destroy and decay any love, now dim.

My folks aren’t willing to give up of themselves.
The one has belief and living carnally so.
The other only sees himself on the top shelves
and neither wants to tell of Him and be low,
low as to a Master who gives us all of Himself.

My Lord and my Master as I live and breathe
if there be any spot that dims Your lovely light,
I pray reveal it and make me cleave
as this soul lacks power this lonely night.
Tomorrow is Easter as we shall remember His death.

Build us now and until You come for us
as we wee Your day approaching so near.
We must live with life so joyful and victorious
though there be days sad and full of tears.
Make us perfect and blameless with gratefulness.

I have become sad and yet hopeful for them
that they my parents of the flesh would give
to You Master their lives unworthy within,
but now bitterness, cruelty and egotism they live
between lines of love and kindness, almost dim.

My witness for You isn’t what it should be.
Perhaps Your light has been burning asunder
as Satan through wiles has caused it and me
to fail You and Your plans that I blunder
and yet I know there is hope in You, not me.

My Lord and My God I pray You be ever near
To chasten and make whole Your servant.
Help me dear Lord to do the days work for fear
of stumbling and living for myself. Make me fervent
in prayer and acts You fid so very dear.

I pray my energies be not wasted these years
as I’m to marry and be the woman of Your choice,
to bring joy to a soul who knew only hate and fear
and bring children to heighten our love. We’ll rejoice
and share this happiness with those far and near.

Lord, Your Commission is first in our lives.
Our desire is to be faithful as You have been to us
and give us joy though times be hard strived,
that our lives be abundantly filled with a plus
that will move men from the world’s dives.

Lor if there be any man You might use now
to bring Your Word to the poor wretched souls,
I pray that it might be Steve. He is made low
by the past and those mighty working, You Lord sow.
Mould us, make us workers beginning now.

At this time as I plead for the souls of my own,
make me mindful of my errors that You’d change.
Make me a strong witness for You, I bow down.
Please fulfill Your promise to give wisdom unchanged.
I give You this body that Your love be made known.

Lord, we love You, yet our ways sometimes conflict
with Your Holy Spirit’s leading, protect us from Satan.
I’m happy You’ve chosen us I hope we will stick
To Your plan and Your ways that we be fattened
with Your grace sufficient, Your love divinely fixed.
