Lift Me Up, Lord is an unedited prayer-poem I wrote in just five minutes. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.
Today’s post is based on the prompt for Five Minute Friday. Today’s prompt is “Lift,” and here is my prayer/poem.
Lift Me Up, Lord
Lift me up, Lord
over my current struggles
so I can see them
from your wider
point of view.
Help me see
how the boundaries
only extend so far
how the surrounding expanse
is far and wide with possibility
how the horizon ahead
is bright with hope.
Lift me up, Lord
when I am too weary
to stand on my own
two feet
and I need your strength
to carry me forward.
Remind me that I can always
come to you for rest
and refreshment
and I was never designed
to struggle alone.
Lift me up, Lord
so people will see
your light in me
which can be obscured
when I drop my head low
due to frustration
with this world.
May the light you set
in me when I believed
give me the hope
encouragement
and strength I need
to lift others up
in service to you.
Today I choose
to be uplifted
by you.
