My Prayerful Request by Cathlyn CartierDear Lord I just have one request Please help me thorugh this day. I know it's kind of been a while since I've really stopped to pray.
I get caught up in the here and now, in all the worldy things, I forget you're sitting next to me to help me handle what each day brings.
It's not that I'm ungrateful for all you've done for me. It's that my mind gets clouded and my spirit eyes don't see...
That all through life, in every way, You've been there for my guide. Often I can only focus on the path that's wide.
Forgive me for my selfishness, for following the flesh, and thank You for reminding me that through the Son I have been blessed.
I am the lamb that went astray, I wander out into the cold, but you the Shepherd search for me and bring me back into Your fold.
As I sit reflecting, I bow my head to pray, and thank You, Gracious Father, for helping me through this day.
