PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

     Why does my flesh so longingly desire for the life I once knew?  Overcome by Nostalgia and longing for things gone by, I am constantly separated from the Promise that my spirit knows:  the simple promise that God is in control.  God always seams to want the things that my self-nature does not, and my flesh seams to constantly want the very things that God himself has freed me of.  I long for past loves now known not to be real, and I long for friendships that I now know could not have lasted.  I so long for days that have come and gone that I often neglect the chance that tomorrow brings to do even more for Him and less for myself.  I am so overwhelmed with promises of man that have never been fulfilled and those promises of my own that I never did accomplish… that I miss the very promises of God that have never failed me.

     Oh, Lord, hear my prayer tonight! Free me from my past as you always have and release me from this burden.  I long ever to dwell in the promise of an eternity seated next to you Lord and to do your will above mine wherever I may be, even unto that great day, Lord.  Forgive me for my ignorance Lord, as I know you have provided everything I need for me to act as you would have me to act.  Lord, have me not to be ignorant to the fact that because of your blood, the mistakes of my past have no bearing on weather or not I may serve and know you now.  I shall ever be great full for your grace Lord; you alone are God, Jehovah.  Thank you evermore.

In the name of your Son and my Savior Jesus,

Amen.
