I am surely blessed, knowing…

that God’s grace continues to flow;

for I’m sustained by His presence,

wherever I am or divinely go.

I refuse to be consumed by uncertainties;

for by His grace, all fears are relieved!

My faith will be evident within my life,

which started… when I first believed.

From promises of spiritual prosperity,

I thankfully in praise, raise my voice…

giving utterances of His sacred Word

in which this joyful soul now…

O Lord, holy is Your Name!

As one of Your many children,

my inheritance I openly claim.

Willingly I lift my voice in praise,

thankful for Your new mercies

and the warmth of the sun’s rays.

With genuineness of heart

and a simplicity of words,

I desire for Your kick start…

to begin this glorious day,

as I’m covered with blessings,

and faith’s fragrant bouquet!

Forgive me of my ignorance

and lack of spiritual…

As a Child of God, you’re blessed with favor,

since you’re a joint-heir with our Savior.

Don’t be ‘eaten up’ with unending discontent;

know that He has promised to keep His covenant!

So regardless of the latest, spiritual deluge,

in the Lord, you’ll always find safety and refuge.

Relief for your earthly suffering is coming,

provided to Him your heart-felt requests you bring.

Despite your painful past, your joy can be restored

when you humbly seek… the face…

by having its peoples’ hearts turned…

to the idea of a national identity.

Around the Nile’s life giving source,

the commonality of personal survival

eventually produced an effective workforce.

Since times of Middle Eastern antiquity,

the annual flooding of the coastal plains

created the opportunities to trade away

Morning coffee percolates

beneath my weary eyelids,

as my flesh angrily screams

for its daily stimulant;

scents of French Vanilla

permeate and freshen

the staleness of my kitchen.

Evaluations of the new day

will have to wait until my cup

has been completely emptied…

of its liquid gold.

O Lord, I know in my heart,

that I can be truly transformed

from impure and tainted thinking,

when my spirit is daily reborn.

Cleanse my mind, my thoughts

and raise my eyes unto Thee;

alter my vision regarding…

everything that I may see.

Renew in me a fresh heart;

modify my ungodly behavior;

keep me solely focused on the…

permanent work of my Savior!

Spark my being with the Divine;

rekindle my love of Your Word;

O Lord, my God and Heavenly King,

my heart continues to rejoice;

for You alone are worthy of praise!

I honor Thee with my poetic voice.

Despite the scars of emotional hurt,

that constantly seek to swallow me up,

I know that You are nearby, having…

sipped from Your sacrificial cup.

Patiently, I wait, shedding anxieties

about my earthly troubles and circumstance.

Joyfully, I petition Thee with prayers,

thankful that You are… Lord of…
