This is a poem I've been writing since the late 1980's, which was a difficult time in my life and required tough decisions. dlj

Hello Lord
© 2007
Dan Johnson

Well, hello Lord,
it’s been a while,
Oh I’ve been good, and you?

Things have been piling up
For some time now,
And stuffs getting hard
To figure out, so, if
You don’t mind; I thought
I’d check in with you, that is,
if you have the time…

My prayer would be:

Hello Lord
Elevate me Lord, by your grace.
Let me stand with you,
Lend me an open ear to hear the trumpets play. .
Open Heavens door, Lord, so I can find my way.

Lord, what would you have me do?
Oneness with you, Lord, would be my daily prayer.
Resting in your promises,
Day by day.

Thanks for listening Lord,
I’ll be OK, and I’m sure you will to.
Dan Johnson

Beautiful writing asking God what he wants of you. We must all do that in our nightly prayers and then follow God's still small voice as it comes to us whenever and wherever. I do exactly that.

prayers don't get any better than this....you've asked, so be sure to listen and allow to receive...and a personal recommendation...this would make a great daily habit

I found this very inspiring. To be able to talk to the Lord in an intimate way is a grace not given to all. It requires great faith. Victor

A beautiful write my friend, I too enjoy having conversations with our Lord...I think He enjoys the personal talks such as these...and I love to ask Him what I can do for Him, so many times, myself included I forget to do this when I pray...But, I do think that He appreciates and smiles upon those humble servants that ask this question. Enjoyed this inspiring write and picture, great combination!
Blessings,
Joyce B.
