prayer

wisps of incense
floating aloft into heaven's arms.
carrying thoughts i cannot know,
showering peace to a tired soul.
calling my name,
moving me forward,
longing for me to immerse myself.
move deep into prayer
finding my strength,
becoming myself,
my greatest self.
walking not on my own.
leaning with every step.
watching for leading,
looking right
glancing left.
waiting.
waiting for the voice.
longing for the blessing.
believing the power.
knowing.
knowing with all my being.
no room for doubt.
belief is here.
belief remains.
belief calls my name
expectantly,
confidently.
lands unexplored,
paradise at every turn.
fall, rain, fall
on this prayerful soul
fall on the essence of my soul.

What beautiful words of prayer.... without knowing it, I believe you have plugged into the power of the Holy Spirit....the guide that we have in this world to bring us to a greater understanding of what we are to be....we make the best of what we have and do the best we can with all of our self...but come up short...and that is when the Holy Spirit takes over....this part of the Godhead is the stake in the ground to keep us balanced, to understand the needs, wants and desires that our souls have...and to bring us to the point of self surrender to God....knowing that we cannot do our best without His guidance. We need to be fully aware of the power of the Spirit and allow Him to lead us to the unexplored areas of our faith...to bring our prayers as incense to God the Father, to take us to places we never thought humanly possible, to give us the power to do confidently and ask the hardest questions of life.......

Father, lead me where You will and protect me with Your grace.

Laura, continue to write from your heart and walk in the Spirit. I thank the Father you have the gift of inspiration to share with everyone you meet.
