The Remedy for a Weary Soul is an unedited prayer-poem I wrote in just five minutes. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.
Today’s post is based on the prompt for Five Minute Friday. Today’s prompt is “Remedy,” and here is my prayer/poem.
The Remedy for a Weary Soul
O God,
I come to you
with a weary soul today
harried by storms
within and without.
Before I collapse
at the end of the road
I remember your words:
come to me
all who are weary
and I will give you
rest.
Here in my bed
I climb into your lap
O Father
thrashing and sobbing
like an overtired toddler
throwing a tantrum
and you still me
with your strong embrace.
Turning to my side
I pour out
my frustrations
fears
doubts
heartache
and you hold me
Jesus
your left hand under
my head
your right hand
embracing me.
With your help
O Spirit
I can see the light
peeking through
the curtain
the dawn of a new day
on the horizon
fulfilling your promise:
weeping may last
for a night
but joy comes in the morning
for my weary soul.
In your presence alone
I find my remedy.
Scripture references in order: Matt. 11:28, Ps. 131:2, Song of Songs 8:3, Ps. 30:5
