The Higher Road
God...
Please, help me with my conflicts
Help me ease my pain
Help me to repent of sin
And never return again.
Help me to take a higher road
Help me to forge the way
Help me to understand thy will
And look to a brighter day.
Help me to see what you see
Beneath my troubled breast
Help me to have the courage
To always do my best.
Forgive me, please, of falling short
Of blessings you have promised
Help me to stand firm and strong
When stumbling through dark mists.
Help me uplift the weary,
Feed the hungry, clothe the cold
To aid and serve my fellow man
As thou, in days of old.
Teach me to listen deep within
To hear your call to me
To recognize thy loving voice
To Come and follow thee.

I like this prayer poem, it lifts up the reader's heart and inspires "to reach" higher, not exactly "to please" but to live the natural inclination of one's soul for a better goal, a higher good. Tinges of guilt for human inadequacy color the poem every now and then, but a redemptive resolve in the last lines confirm the HOPE that it is really God "Who works in us to will and to do according to His purpose."(Philippians 2:13)
