Poem Commentary

This prayer is inspired by some of my favourite bible verses and gospel songs, i hope it blesses anyone that reads it.

THE PRAYER OF JOANNA

Heavenly Father, here I am in fervent prayer and supplication,

In Your presence, at Your Feet, I come to lay down my application.

On bended knees and with a broken heart, I bow before Thee,

Give ear to the voice of my cry, O Lord of mercy, I plea.

I have sang songs of worship to draw unto me Your attention,

Aloud have I called You, of Your great names I will make mention.

Remember me not in the times when my flesh has been weak,

Daddy, forgive me of my sins as Your Face and Favour I seek.

Dear God, hear and answer my prayer like you did the Prayer of Jabez,

For only You can answer it and You will with Your Touch of finesse.

Like the Potter’s Hand, let Your Hand not only remould me but bless me,

Let Your Hand of Blessing be heavy upon me that the whole world may see.

From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, Lord, I pray You unction,

For Your Glory and to Your Will, enable me to greatly function.

 You said in Your Word, “I am married to you” like Christ is to the Church,

Send to me a representative of You, the one who’ll love and care for me so much.

Liken my womb with a child just as You would a quiver with an arrow,

Let me be rewarded with many; This is my heritage, my future, my tomorrow.

Bread of Heaven, Well of Life, satisfy me early with Your Mercy,

Let me rejoice and be glad all my days, my Jehovah – Nissi.

Like the words of Agur, don’t make me poor so people can say, “Where is My God?”

Let not riches turn me into a fool who thinks in his heart, “There’s no God”.

El - Elyon, establish me like You said You will establish Zion,

Arise, Hoseenu, as you did for Zion, yes, let the set time to favour me come.

Father to the fatherless, answer me speedily, my spirit is about to fail,

Send forth Your Word into my life; put to an end my deep wail.

Ancient of Days, lengthen my days so I may apply my heart unto wisdom,

Let me and my generations be among the ones who’ll advance Your Kingdom.

Jehovah – Shalom, make Your gladness my pillow whenever I enter Your rest,

With Your Arms of love embracing me as I lay my head on Your chest.

Above all, I humbly ask that You love me with the love that never ends,

Lord, I love You and I hope for eternity we will stay best friends. Amen.

The value of faith is in the joy, the fascination and the strength you gain from it. Clearly you have a generous measure of all three, made clear by the energy you give back.

Wonderful prayer, I like the part where you refer to God as Daddy, he is the creator and father to us all. Nice piece.

Thank you Rhymer, its only God who can answer all prayers and make dreams come true.

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.
