Something Greater: A Prayer Poem


Something Greater: A Prayer Poem

Inspired By: Psalm 46:10 and a friend

Daddy, there are moments in
My life when I feel hopeless.
Moments I don’t feel like I have
A purpose. There is a hole or
Empty spot in me.

I feel like I’m striving for
Something greater. Something
That I can only reach myself.
I don’t need to strive for anything.
In fact, I need to crease striving.

I need to be still and know You
Are God. I need You to fill that
Empty spot that only You can.
You have greater things for me
If I’d let You lead. I need to
Have peace in knowing You
Know what is best for me.

I filled it with people’s thoughts,
Jobs, helping people out but it’s not
About doing. It’s about Grace, Your
Grace, and receving it. Letting it
Come to me. It’s nothing I earn.
Why am I striving for it then?

If I am in Your Path for me then
You will show me that something
Greater when I am ready for it.
Might not be until I get to Heaven
Because I live in a sinful thing called
“life” but what greater is there,
right? Your Grace is the great thing
I need to rest in not strive for.
