Prayer for the Weary
abracad, · Categories: externally authored, poetryBy Dr. Stewart Bitkoff
O Lord, help me
Not to be in mind today.
As You Will, please rescue me
And lift me higher.
My thoughts are filled
With worry and wanting
And I am so tired
Of not being satisfied,
And constantly afraid.
Guide me. Help me to rest
In Your Caress
And bathe tirelessly
In the peace of Your Grace.
O Lord, help me
To fight this battle
That rages in my mind.
Thoughts, one upon another,
That will not let me rest.
Help me to pause and kneel
In the shade of Your Kindness;
Swimming in the gentle water
Of Your Grace and Mercy.
O I am so tired of myself.
I need a vacation
From my endless thoughts.
O Lord, please lead me back
Into the calm
And serenity
Of Your Loving Friends.
Help me to be still again
And surrender
To Your Loving Caress.
