CAN SOMEONE TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME ON THIS ONE?

A BELIEVER'S PRAYER

Jesus, I thank you. For you've been more than good to me! Lord, I thank you for giving me the privileged to be able to come before you and reverence you. You truly are a God of mercy. You have been more than my shelter from the storm. You are my strong tower. You have sent your Holy Spirit to lead me and you, God, has become my rear guard. A thousand times over I have to say thank you. Now, my sweet, sweet Savior I have to ask for forgiveness for all the times I went against your will, for all the times I didn't obey, for all the times I lost faith, I kneel before you asking for forgiveness. Not only am I here to cast my cares upon you, Jesus, but I come willing to accept all you are offering. I know that I cannot endure this race without you...because without you, Jesus, there is no race. Oh how I desire to lay my head upon your bosom, to be wrapped in your arms, to forever be in your presence. 
   I want to always obey immediately when you instruct me, to hear when you speak to me. Let a hunger for you consume me. Fill me up with your Word and bring it to life in me. Pour out your spirit upon me and let me be devoured by its power. Let me forever be reminded that you are God and I need you.
   Help me to remember to acknowledge you in all my ways. To never move without seeking you first. Teach me to center my life around you and not center you around my life. I long for you to be my Head, my Leader, my Shepherd, my Lord, my Healer, my Deliverer, my Savior. Empower me with a tongue that speaks only your word. Equip me to become a vessel used by you, Jesus, and let everything I do and say glorify you. I ask these things in your mighty name.
                                                        AMEN

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
