Today I saw what scared a man, a payment that secured a home.
I saw for once a man’s worth defined
as only a monetary moment.
Yet I also found a power that shone.
When a woman could rescue the moment,
and pay the errant monetary deficit
with money earned with daily toil.
Did this cause the man to become
less of a man and dependent somehow?
One would hope that it would instead
be a demonstration of a friends true caring!
Still I wonder what reparations are needed
to repair an ego fraught with guilt?
I cannot help but be aware
that once a man stole my life and money.
A different man that is to be sure,
but, I have learned I am unable to see
when someone is there for me or my worth
What do I do, what must I be able to see?
I am confused, I am so scared, am I again unaware,
of predators who may be lurking, of slackers who
may be consciously shirking? God I am so scared.
Grant me a wisdom in this situation.
Please give me wisdom dear Lord, and patience to see,
the reality that is in front of me.
Give me strength to wait and find what’s true
to find the reality of love and its trail.
I request an intervention from Gods angels
to come into my decision making and life choices
grant me wisdom and strength of character
to overcome that which is false or temporary.
If It is meant to be dear Lord.
give him the means to have some security Dear Lord
We have agreed to pray for this end Dear Lord.
So give us answers that make sense to us.

Your writing style is so personal and so daring. That's what I like. No frills, just a heart laid bare so the rest of us can feel more deeply about life. God hears and uses prayers and poems like these.
Life has always been a scary business, but what with population soaring, trust is bound to be more of an issue. Where it comes to finances. . .oh, boy. You have done a great job of making us relate to your dilemma. We can also see that you have a lot of faith, and are determined not to lose it. Good for you!! The best of fortune to you and yours. . .always, Phyllis
Wow, this is good. God gives us wisdom to discern the good from the bad. You are right in praying. Let me remind you though God sees you as perfect b/c he is looking at you through His Son Jesus' own blood. I am really very proud of you Sandi and apologize for my lack of communication. I am not online much. However, I think of you.
Always depend on the Lord and he will sure answer your prayers in his own time and for you own good. I truly believe this and wish to pass it o n to others.
This is a beautiful prayer! I, too, pray for enlightenment, wisdom and courage. I know He is always by my side, but sometimes not knowing the direction to go scares the daylights out of me. Take care. You are in my prayers.
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
