Like Yours (Our Prayer)

Meditate, Acrylic, 11 X 14

May our eyes be like Yours that we may see beauty in all,

Where we envision goodness regardless of our befall.

In our weakest moments, may we know where to look,

Immerse ourselves in Your words written in the holy book.

Remembering that God gives, and God takes away,

Whatever life gives us, may our faithfulness stay.

May our ears be like Yours that we may hear what You hear,

Discerning right from wrong, receiving messages so clear.

Knowing when to listen, or when to start to leave,

Understanding the wisdom of what we perceive.

Trusting our Lord God for things we do not understand,

For You see the bigger picture, You have it all planned. 

May our mouths  be like Yours that we may only speak of truth,

That our words be wise, that it may give comfort and soothe.

That we may disdain all the gossip and lies,

Walk away from evil, as we learn to scrutinize.

Worshiping You with sincerity and humility,

Singing praise and glory to the Holy Trinity.

May our hearts be like Yours that we may be gentle yet strong,

With kindness and compassion, that we may not judge the wrong.

That we may forgive others who have sinned against us,

With sincerest of repentance, preventing our souls to fuss.

Shining Your light by helping those in the dark,

To be beacons of peace, leaving God's trademark.

May our hands be like Yours that we may consciously lift others,

Rousing helpfulness and inspiration in our everyday endeavors.

Continuing to create using our God-given gifts,

Where expressiveness soars and only uplifts.

Raising both hands, we surrender to Your will,

Keeping a steadfast devotion as we stand still.

May our feet be like Yours that we may walk in Your path,

Living in righteousness, foreboding of God's wrath.

Night and day we seek You, as we want to know You more,

Surrendering all that we are, in You, we worship, and adore.

Assimilating the holy bible, we hold on to Your words,

Restlessness shall leave us, for we believe we are Yours.

May our spirit be like Yours, forever burning in God's heart,

No matter how stubborn we are You are  never apart.

Finding comfort in the world, we refuse to take your love,

Stumbling again and again, You watch over from above.

We hide and run away from You, yet You pursue us until the end,

Renewing us slowly but surely, Your holy presence transcends.

Let us breathe You in, for the remainder of our days,

To be completely transformed, in all our thoughts and ways.

Rewiring our minds, restoring our faith,

Your loving mercy has saved us from scathe.

Desiring Your divine presence, let us hold on to You,

Enveloped within our souls as You carry us through.
