Prayers
Oh Lord
I stumbled on every step of every path in my life,
But You Lord, who walked besides me supported me;
You taught me to walk under Your cloud of grace.
I cried and complained of every single thing in my life,
You taught me to shake hands with difficulties,
You taught me to smile with tears still in my eyes,
You showed me the ray of light in darkness of night;
You made my weeping heart trust in you.
Today, I pray again unto You, O Father,
Give Your comfort to this heart, which is broken;
which has stopped expecting from man
And looks at You with a hope.
Give Your strength to these stumbling feet of mine
To walk in the storm of life;
They ask for Your help, O Lord.
Give Your wisdom to this soul, which has become weak,
To differentiate between the right and the wrong.
Bless me O Lord
To walk in Your will.
Let me be Your child.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Only,
Joy

** “O Lord” The good: The most free verse styled of your works I've read so far, containing no apparent rhyme scheme. I've always felt that the soul is best expressed when it does not have to conform to any rules like rhyming words or proper grammar. *I also like that you have given this piece distinction with the repeated words 'I' and 'You' and 'Give' which the begin many of the lines. There is a certain emphasis that one reads into these words as they meditate over the overall message of this piece. It seems you want to tell us that: "I" mess up, "You" (God) is the right authority, who "Gives" to those who ask.
**The controversial: Quite honestly, I do not like the title of this piece. “O Lord” sounds so indirect and praise-like, as if this piece were a worship verse unto the Lord. Some suggestions: 'I, You, Give' focusing on those emphasized words; 'Psalm 151' if you don't want to give anything about the message of the piece away; 'Stumbling/Rising' if you want to give away some idea about the message of the piece. *In light of what I just wrote about your emphasized words I feel it would bring better continuity if the "I stumbled" line, and the "I cried" line went right after each other, maybe adding a third 'I' line for even more emphasis, then move into the contrast with the 'You' lines.
__Overall this piece was decent as it has emphasis, authentic expression of the soul, and focus on the sovereign Lord. May this same Lord who continues to create through us give you more words to write.
