Trying to Follow Jesus

Night Prayer

Jesus, sometimes I become

so involved with my own wishes

and feelings that I forget

to follow you and

instead  follow  me

Tonight I place all my fears, frustrations

and hopes in your care to do with

as you please

If my wishes and hopes

are not your will

I will accept your will

Knowing that you know

what is best for me and

how I can best live your word and love

My vision is limited and has my ego involved

Even though I try and focus on your will

I know many of the acts I do have some ego

I would be dishonest with you

if I said otherwise

Tonight I surrender all to you

I ask that all the gifts you have

given me bear much fruit

Even with my weaknesses

Good night Jesus

You are my all in all

Very honest and incisive, Cindy, a look into our own hearts.
Your poem is and eye-opener for us all.

Cindy sometimes we all get wrapped up in our so called priorities instead of putting our heart where it should be, thank you for this reminder
In Christs Love
