Prayer Prompt Psalm 16: Zeal For All Days To Come Poem by rose flores rosevoc2

Prayer Prompt Psalm 16

It says:
“The Lord himself is my inheritance, my prize.
He is my food and drink, my highest joy.
He guards all that is mine.”

I always held that prayer and Your promise
Since that day my father died - and everyday
I have carved it in my heart, deeply -
To follow You.

And those I’ve missed in my life,
You were the answer
You have changed me, a warrior with only fists,
Nothing - without the others.

Your clouds were my roof
Your seas, my playground
Your church, my bed
Your promise, my success.

With all the imperfections, you held me up
Gently, strongly
A ridgeline of earth and sky
Your cup of tea; sweet to please You.

“I am always thinking of the Lord;
And because he is so near,
I never need to stumble or fall.
Heart, body, and soul are filled with joy.'

Fill our hearts, Lord, with faith in You.
Be near us, Lord, we'd build more rainbows.
We'd watch sunrise and sundown, trees and flowers.
Be zeal in everyone's beautiful faces at work, for all days to come.
