Prayerfully Poetic

A Collection of Prayerful Poems by Tim McGee

My Lord, This Is Why I Pray

O Lord, my heart to You I raise,
In quiet night and busy days.
You know my thoughts, my every need,
Yet still, I pray, to You I plead.

In prayer, our bond grows strong and true,
A bridge of love from me to You.
Not to inform, for You are wise,
But to live the love that never dies.

Your will, O Lord, is just and right,
In prayer, I seek Your guiding light.
Align my heart, my soul, my mind,
To Your great plan, so well designed.

In humble trust, on You I call,
Acknowledging, You’re Lord of all.
My every breath, my every care,
I lay them down in earnest prayer.

For others too, I lift my voice,
In prayer, together we rejoice.
A heart of love and empathy,
Grows with prayer and bended knee.

Transform me, Lord, from deep within,
From every prayer, new life begins.
Grant me peace and love divine,
As I converse with You, sublime.

Obedient, I come to Thee,
In prayer, I find my liberty.
Your teachings guide my words today,
In faithful prayer, I choose to stay.

With gratitude, my soul does sing,
Thankful for each blessing You bring.
In worship, Lord, I lift Your name,
In prayer, Your greatness I proclaim.

O Lord, this is why I pray,
In every moment, night and day.
To draw You close, to know Your way,
My Lord, my God, this is why I pray.

Amen

    1. I should make that – a “restart” to my day. It’s already been a Monday long before I had a moment to read this! 🙂
