My Prayer! Poem by Crystal Tutson

Lord, I need you to hug me until my body becomes sore.
Tell me I will make it through the pain, the sorrow, and the disappointment. Embrace my tears and clear away the abrupt rapture of loneliness.
Encamp around my heart a cushion so that no matter how many times it is thrown or bounced around it never breaks.
Bury my heart in your heart so I can feel and embrace the love given to me.
So that I can show the love given to me.
So that I can live the love given to me.
Let me find peace in your presence.
Comfort in your comforter.
Redemption in your blood.
Save me from me. Let me not do harm to me.
Let me follow the narrow path directed for me.
For your ways are holy, your ways are righteous, Oh Lord!
In thee will I live forever,
Amen!
