Prayer Zzz Poem by Matt Decker

As upon this pillow I lay my head,
I ask You to place angels by my bed;
I call to mind the words You said
And all that Jesus did in my stead -
So every fear and care now I shed.

The day You gave was truly a blessing -
You taught me so many positive lessons;
At each turn there was Your presence
And now with peace I am resting,
Thank You for this wonderful refreshing.

Off to sleep I am beginning to drift,
Into the restful deep I start to shift,
Through memories my subconscious will sift,
Upon waves of dreams I'll be set adrift -
What a blessing, what a lift, what a gift.

Help me, Lord, to clear my mind
Of the day's thoughts, whatever the kind -
Free me from the ties that bind;
In You peace and release I find,
For the battle is Yours
And the victory is mine.

Amen.
