Dad,
You know that my love for You
Is like an ever growing vine
Bringing me closer and closer to heaven,
but never bringing me there.
I ask You to stretch out Your Hand
And with the softest effort
Of Your Spirit,
Raise my head
That I may always see You
Above all that surrounds me.
For Lord, I know
That trials await me
Right now
And in the words
I speak last of You.
Of Your immense and wonderful kingdom,
Your infallible Word,
And your sacrificial love.
Nothing in this world
Could share my heart
While fixed upon you I remain.
For what could tear me
From the greatest love,
the deepest passion
That fills my very being
With such joy that tears
Burst from my eyes
Proclaiming your majesty,
And my depths are washed clean
By a blinding light forcing its way
From within me.
In this awe I can do nothing to harm Your Name,
I cannot bear the beating of my own heart
Without Your hand there to keep it going,
Nor the magnitude of the surrounding darkness.
Without you it consumes me.
You are the only food and drink I enjoy,
And all I ask for,
Is more.
Amen
Author notes
This isn't the usual quality of poetry I deliver, but I find that the more direct you are with God, the more you feel that He's listening.

Wow, this is a very powerful write. It holds so much to be understood. I think everyone should read this and open up their blinded eyes. God is our Father and we have been adopted into the family by the blood of Christ Jesus. This is a very delivering and direct powerful message. You have such a talent for writing in the Spirit. Keep up the wonderful work. God bless you.

being direct is what God wants. whiners and complainers accomplish nothing through 'pity me' prayers

Very well written. The way the wording was well done, it could have been wroding differently in certain places to give it a better flow but overall well done. The way you had the stanzas were also well placed. I liked how the prayer was to your father and to God.
I especially liked:
I cannot bear the beating of my own heart
Without Your hand there to keep it going,
Nor the magnitude of the surrounding darkness.
Without you it consumes me.
You are the only food and drink I enjoy,
And all I ask for,
Is more
Amazing
