My Prayerful Request

by Cathlyn Cartier

Dear 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.
