I Had a Talk With God

So, anyone who's been in contact with me lately knows how much of an emotional rollercoaster I have been on as a result of an interesting turn of events in my life this year... Anyways.. I sat down to write a poem about my latest devastation and it turned out to be something completely different from what I was going for, so I thought I would share it because... hey, who knows...just thought I'd share it!

*God*



I had a talk with God today / I asked Him what to do.

I asked if there was any hope / Hope left for me and you.

I know it's easier said than done / But I've forgiven you

I had a talk with God today / And I prayed you'll forgive me too!



*Prioritize, my child, He said / And focus more on me

For when your heart is a reflection of mine / Then I will give you peace.

Long not for some young earthly man / But set your sights on me

Look not for love in worldly pleasures / Look for love in me*



I had a talk with God today / I asked forgiveness for my sins

Renew in me a steadfast spirit / Make me whole again

Thank you for every blessing dear Lord / For every family member and friend

Thank you for every circumstance / That has made me who I am



I had a talk with God today / I rest my weary head upon his chest

I cried and cried and cried some more / I asked Him, Lord, please give me rest.

I said I understand precious Father / That this is all a test

But I just feel like giving up / Like I have nothing left.

I'm running from a painful past / I thought I'd left behind

Things seem so topsy turvey, Lord / I've lost all peace of mind

And even on the brightest days / My sun just doesn't shine.

But Lord, don't move my mountain / Please, just give me strength to climb!!!



*Do I hear a voice of trembling? / Of fear and not of peace?

I tell you my sweet, precious child / That those things are not of me

For, as man thinketh in his heart / So therefore is he

Do not have a heart of fear, / Rest assured, I'll set you free.*



*Believe in me, my child, He said / For I am by your side

And I am here to carry you / When life's battles leave you tired

So when you're feeling down and out / Reach for my outstretched arms

For I am here to prosper you, / Not to bring you harm.*



I had a talk with God today / I said I give You all the praise

You've changed my life and blessed my soul / In oh so many ways

So instead of looking back, dear Lord / I look on to better days

Thank you my dear Heavenly Father / I give you ALL THE PRAISE!



Thank you God of second chances... I GIVE YOU ALL THE PRAISE!!
