I Say A Prayer Poem by Shannon Wade

I Say A Prayer



I say a prayer
My mind seems to stay in a whirlwind of thoughts
These thoughts often interrupt my concentration
The dependent of my mind
I pray to you for guidance
At time I pretend I know my way out life’s wilderness
But the truth soon unfolds
I am nothing without your hand
Although I attempt to not use you as a crutch
I know that I cannot go too far without you near me to instruct
I pray that you control my ever word
Allow me to be eloquent and poise
So that the ones I mingle amongst daily will be in awe at the words I say
I pray you remove my shell
The hidden place I’ve created within myself
My security blanket that Satan uses as a battle ground
He fills me with doubts and insecurities
Telling me to second guess all I know
So I am constantly rebuking his venomous spews
Cradle me in your arms with your deepest empathy
Your servant cries even when she smiles
She mourns even when she frowns
She is weak amongst all her vigor
So I say a prayer
Casting my burdens to you
