I shall recollect
my intellect,
and I must stand erect
in front of my God,
the Only God.
I must recognize
those who disguise
themselves and abide by
other than The Lord of the skies.
My loyalty to Thee,
gives me comfort and bravery.
Accurately I say, Father,
that without Jesus,
the One and Only,
I would be
anything but Holy.
Make me complete,
and fix me up before Your feet.
I pray for tonight,
and I pray for the coming days,
to be an opportunity
to show me Your everlasting ways.
I've encountered doubt, fear,
restlessness, stress,
but I know You're always here,
in all my times of duress.
Some mornings I awake hypnagogic,
and buzz through the school crowds as claustrophobic.
Today, Dear Lord, I confess almost missed Your dime.
Despite me walking past it knowingly,
I turned myself around.
God, I'm sorry I dared to be careless,
but in my Heart I found
the need to pick it up,
just as Jesus did with the cup.
Despite it having been on tails, I know it's a sign!
I had to recollect
my intellect,
and keep, deep down, my knowledge of what You expect
from me.
So, I prithee
to You, who will guide me,
through and through,
to shun away all folly,
for folly is not of You.
