A Prayer

Oh Lord in Heaven
please hear this servant of yours.

I have done what you have asked
I have walked beside them
spoke to them of your word
helped them where I could.

But alas, my Lord
it has not been enough.

I beseech you my Lord
help them.

Help the tired,
the hungry,
the sick,
the lost,
and unloved.

Please Lord
help the homeless
and the abused
children.

Lord at this time
the world needs you
more than it ever has before.

Please Lord
help them all
in their time of need.
So prays your servant.

Amen.

    Unselfish

    I love how this poem is a prayer for the healing of others. Sometimes our prayers become self-centered and this one is delightfully freeing.
    "I beseech you my Lord
    help them.

    Help the tired,
    the hungry,
    the sick,
    the lost,
    and unloved.

    Please Lord
    help the homeless
    and the abused
    children."

    Very beautiful.

    Not exactly what we were looking for, though this prayer was definitely a very much needed cry for help. Thank you for the entry.

    A beautiful poem, so sad and so true. Unfortunately, so many people are suffering, let's just hope God isn't blind to their pain.
    Well done!

    Beautifully said. I fear that this will be a short comment, as I agree wholly with all that you spoke of - there are so many in the world that need help, and sadly, in some situations, are beyond the aid of the normal people and needed a higher miracle to come to their side...

    This was very peaceful - a lovely prayer to read. Thank you for entering!

    A wonderful prayer for all, indeed. This world sure can use many more prayers such as this! I am not an overly religious person, but I do believe in the power of prayer, and this is heartfelt and wonderful! Keep praying this prayer!

    Best of luck in this contest!

      To be honest I don't think I am all that much religious either. But I do believe in God in my heart. And for some reason my muse is stuck on prayers lately. Dunno why. Maybe she thinks I need some help from up above. I dunno. Anyway, thanks for your comment. It is appreciated.

      so do I... with all the violence... hopelessness... hunger, and illnesses. We do need something to give us hope and a feeling of peace.

    a really beautiful and heartening prayer.

    don't we all want a world where injustice and poverty doesn't exist?

    and we, as Christians, know that one day, God will make that possible. because 'we can do all things through Christ who stregthens us'.

    thanks and have a blessed new year

    I never really connected a prayer to being poetry, but this is pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

      Glad that you liked it. For some reason every once in a while a prayer poem comes out of my muse. I wrote this one the other day for another contest and I thought it fit perfectly for this one.

      yeah but like I said... I didn't realize it til I finished writing it. And since I liked it... well I wasn't going to change it.
