Topic: Pastor (11/30/06)
Please God


THOUGHT:

We all go though different trials and tribulations in life. It helps us to become stronger Christians and more appreciative of God’s blessings. It also brings us closer to God.


POEM:

*P*lease God The
*A*lmighty up high
*S*trengthen my walk in your light and word
*T*oday, tomorrow and always. Also, please
*O*rchestrate your angels to watch over me when I
*R*ide and drive my car. Help me to be accident free.

*P*lease God The
*A*ll knowing and All Seeing
*S*end me a husband and baby girl
*T*hat would be a wonderful blessing and gift
*O*f your love. I am
*R*ight here waiting, wanting and praying.

*P*lease God The
*A*lpha and Omega, the
*S*upreme, The Heavenly Father
*T*ake up the serpent in my workplace
*O*ne day soon so I can have peace and
*R*est.

*P*lease God The
*A*nchor in my life that keeps me grounded
*S*weep away the
*T*rash that Satan has left behind.
*O*kay.
*R*id me of all negativity now, tomorrow, someday.


PRAYER:

Dear God, thank you for all the tests and trials that are before me. I am growing, and overcoming lots with your help and love. Thank you for listening to my many prayers and complaints. I am glad I can come to you in the good times and bad times. You are always in my heart and thoughts. I love you. Amen.

The poetic prayer is heartfelt and beautifully written. Many lovely thoughts and phrases here.

I don't think you need the asterisks--maybe just bold the first letters to make the acronym obvious? Also, usually in an acronym poem there's a close relationship between the word you use and the content of the poem. Perhaps a sentence explaining that this is the prayer of a pastor's heart?

I loved the repetition of "Please God"--just so genuine and touching.

I enjoyed this prayer. My only suggestion is to tie the subject more into the prayer itself. I would have loved to have seen this done with the prayer being one of a pastor for his flock, his ministry, etc. This was well written. Thanks for sharing it!

Great concept. I really liked the poem. Just a couple little things already mentioned above and this would be outstanding. Keep up the good work. You're a blessing. God bless.
