I cry out to the Lord for help
For the courage to carry on
To not give up
Depend upon the Holy Spirit within me

Filter all that I do and say
Through the grid of God’s
Grace
Mercy
Truth
Love

When I feel I can’t go on
Or take another step
Strengthen me
Give me courage

When I don’t know what to say
Help me to remember
It’s okay to say nothing
Ask my Heavenly Father for wisdom

Let my words reflect the Lord
May the words I speak into broken lives bring
Life
Healing
Grace
Hope
Truth

Light the path before me
Guide each step
Incline my ear so that I may hear
And listen closely to Your still small voice

It’s another Saturday morn and I wanted to participate in Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday writing challenge.  Head over to her website “Lisa Jo Baker Tales from a Gypsy Mama”.  Be sure to read some of the entries from other writers.  I can promise you that you will be blessed.
