When Ever I Pray, Poem by Justus Cyril E

i look beyond my past
and hope for the fortitude of grace
to guide me

i hold on to the present
to cherish and love every moment
for this is not mine to decide
but the greatest miracle of all
every time i breath - Gods' will for me to live

i let go of the future
and bank on my faith...
in the knowledge of Gods' faithfulness
towards me, my families, my brethren, my neighbors,
my coleagues, my associates, my partners, my friends,
my church, my state, my country and the world.

when i pray,
i look beyond my past,
i hold on to the present,
i let go of the future,
and bank on my faith
in the knowledge that God is
ever faithfull
ever loving
ever merciful
ever sure...

When ever i pray
i say nothing more
than...
ABBA, father...
Hallowed be thy name
