pray,            what do I say?What words do I speak            for the peace that I seek?I give thanks to You            for all that You do,for the blessings You are giving            in this life I am living.I praise Your blessed name,            forever & always it is the same.Yesterday You guided me,            today You helped me see.Forgive me for all the wrongs,keep me singing happy songs.From temptation set me freeso that in You I can be.I praise YouI thank YouI worship YouI honor YouJesus, You set me free,            now I can see.When my vision is blurred            You show me Your word.As I have been blessed,            now I pray for the rest,for my sisters & brothers            who think they have no other.For our salvation You are risen,            for us new life You have given.Use me as You would            that others may have what they should.I praise YouI thank YouI worship YouI honor YouOn bended knee or with hands upraised,            it is Your life that is praised.And as I give You my life            You take from me my strife.You have given me so much;            joy, life, love & the such.& all You have taken            is my life’s burden.You are all the love from Heaven above.& Jesus, each time I pray there is not enough to say. Except,            I praise You                        & Your holy name,            I thank You for what You have done,            I worship You                        as my Savior & Lord,            I honor You                        as only You deserve,            & I do Love you,                        my Jesus, my Lord,                        my Savior, my friend.                                                                 AmenDiscussion:The next poem is in Living In God’s Rhyme on pg. 83.MY CHANGING PRAYERLord help me todayAs I go on my way,For this I do pray.There is more to pray for,Those who are illThat their healing willAlso heal their souls.There are those who need to be found.Those who have not heard you sound,There is a world full of painWaiting for your healing rain.And for me, I pray for your help,What I think I need for myself.Then I read from Peter’s first letterAnd know that I need to do better.“Live such good lives among the pagans that,Though they accuse you of doing wrong,They may see your good deedsAnd glorify God on the day he visits us.”(1 Peter 2:12)How do I liveWith what the lifeThat surrounds meHas to give?I need more than the help for which I askIf I am to complete my given task.I must pray for that I understandThat he will carry me across the sand.So now I pray in a different way.I ask that God make me awareThat as I go through the dayIf I open the door, he is there.He wants to share his blessingsBut I have to open the door So that I may receive moreOf what he has for me.I pray that God helps me open my heartAs each new day doe s start.I pray that I am open to receiveSo at the day’s end I do not grieve.Lord, take my life today and is it as you would,I know that you can do more than I ever could.I pray that I open the door to allow your spiritLive within me and that I always hear it.If I hear you speakMy prayer will be,It will be complete.Discussion:The last poem about prayer is also in Living on God’s Rhyme on pg.85.THE STORY OF MY PRAYERDear Father in Heaven I pray that I live for you today.Dear God I pray that all I sayIs that your will be done, that I live for your Son,That with the setting sun, your will has been done.My heartfelt hope, my desireIs that I not deserve your ire,That by your indwelling spirit,The voice of your words, I hear it.So why today do I feel defeated?Why do I know there is a distanceBetween you and me, and what I see?Why do I know it is all because of . . .?As I am lay my head upon my bedI feel the fear that you are not near.The fear that I know is that of what I did sow,That when I shut the door, I feel your presence no more.It is time that is wasted,In a vast waste land that is my mind.It is blessings that are squanderedAs not trying, you I did not find.Then your word as I pray to repent:He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercyand to walk humbly with your god.Micah 6: 8As I get ready for sleep, as my soul does weep,I pray that what I did sow, tomorrow will not grow.As I get ready for sleep, I pray that my soul you keep,Keep it from the dust, that I do what I must.Yes, Lord I pray for your help in living my lifeIn a way that pleases you and those I meet.I do pray for your help keeping me from strife,From falling in the gutter of the crowded city street.But more than that prayerI pray that you remove the door,The one that I keep closing,That when closed keeps you out.When that door is closedMy voice is silentAnd my hearing deaf,My sight is blinded.So I ask Lord that this be my prayer:But  for me, I watch in hope for the LORD,I wait for God my Savior;my God will hear meMicah 7: 7Discussion:As we come to the end of today’s podcast, let us pray.Dear Heavenly Father we come to you in prayer as we end today’s podcast.  Dave and I thank You for leading us through the day and into
