A Prayer...

I pray I make it through this second night,
I pray..when I awake,i'll be alright.
I pray  You'll hold me through this night.and every single eerie night,
I pray You'll kiss my tears and free me from all my fears.
I pray..cause i'm not afraid
To let you know
How scared I am this night...
Help me make it through..
the night.

Writing out my prayer as I lay down at 3am.

I'm not a poet.

    If scripture has meaning for you, there is a passage that says "God is not the author of fear; but a sound mind..." You can google to find and see the context. I am a bit rusty on any other details. Another I really like is "He is close to the broken hearted."

      I know,i'm human and I also have learnt and still learning that fear itself is the biggest problem.
      There is a passage in The Old Testament Bible,which quotes not exactly in these words; "Fear ye not ME who has created a boundary so the sea breaks at the shore"
      Another beautiful one is,"how dare you fear those who can kill the body and spirit,yet only I can kill the soul"
      Thanks for your time!

    This is really a beautiful prayer and I think what makes it so powerful is your wonderful use of epanaphora.

    Love,

        LOL, It's the repetition of a word or words at the beginning of two or more successive verses, clauses, or sentences.

  • It is a beautiful prayer my friend.
    Putting your feelings onto paper is a wonderful way to express your thoughts and fears.
    I also understand just how hard it is to do all of this via your mobile phone, because I have been there myself and know the difficulty.
    I send you much love and happiness and keep up the great work with your writing!
    your friend in poetry,
    ~Anne~

      Yes it was

      It was answered,
      I awoke the next morning.
      I dont believe in pretending or lieing.who would I be lieing to,but myself.
      Yes some people try to take advantage of my sensitivity and vulnerability,and even see it as weakness...
      It's not their fault,they simply don't understand....
      Thanx 4 the commy my friend.

  • This is so amazing

    full of spirituality, fear yet not fear to ask for protection and shelter and an inner faith and positiveness that you will get it. the use of words and meanings are like a wonderful pearl strings with the gems shining beautifully adoring a being and spreading light of hope.
