I wrote this pretty long poem today while praying, and I felt like God is speaking through me (please don’t get me wrong,  by no means claim my poem to be holy!). The original Hebrew poem was of course much better than the translation, with meter and rhyme. Anyway, I do think that God wants me to share it with others. If I encouraged even one of you, I’ve done my job 🙂

 

A prayer poem – Please

 

Be for me a source of peace and calm

Oh my supreme father, a God full of mercy

Oh my supreme father, you are a pure love,

Be inside me a spring of living waters

 

Father, please help me to thank all the time

So I would never complain for anything

And I will be happy, always, because complaining is a sin

Just help me to thank for everything there is

 

That happiness will fill me every day, please

And my joy will come only from you, God

Not from meaningless smoke, from the lies of Hell

But only from prayer, salvation and life

 

Father, give me the strength to be faithful

To be close to you like a belt to your waists

Father, give humility to my stubborn heart

To repent and confess my sins

 

The power to throw everything in my life

That does not glorify your name and holiness

Please give it to me lord, my Messiah, my God

So I will always dwell with you

 

Give me faith to remember in nights and days

That all those who respect and obey you have promises

That you’ll never, never abandon me

And that I’ll not lack blessings from your hands

 

Father, open my heart, that is deceitful above all things,

To absorb and accept your holy will

Please give me the strength to make for you the way

To be a slave to you, please be my head

 

And I surely know that a trouble will be

And in a day of temptation, please give me the courage

To obey you in any persecution that might come, please,

And to remember that you are sovereign

 

Please protect me from being like the Satan

That fell from the Heavens due to his pride

And remind me that in grace you came to me

And purify my heart and fill it with humility

 

Father, give me the patience to wait for you

Not to run and jump without your approval and blessing

To deeply absorb your holy will

And to obey you whatever comes, please

 

Father, give me the strength to give you

My life as a pure burnt offering

With my body, with my tongue, when I speak

To dedicate all my heart and strength only to you

 

To do for your name my acts and deeds

To make my paths straight according to the wisdom

Because the beginning of wisdom is the respect of the LORD

My deeds will be like an offering of frankincense to you
