Asking For Forgiveness
by Patricia M Eichler
Sunday, August 02, 2009
Rated "G" by the Author.

Share   Print   Save Become a Fan

This is a prayer for forgiveness for the kind of the fear that causes hypertension.

The pattern in each stanza is four lines, first line has four syllables, second six, third six and last line five.



 
God forgive me
For this dread and fearing
That grips my racing heart
Fearing poverty.

God forgive me
For my outbursts of rage
That grips my racing heart
Fearing my frailty.

God forgive me
For complaint and judging 
That grips my racing heart
Fearing loneliness.

God forgive me
For unrighteous thoughts
That grips my racing heart
Fearing the unknown.

God forgive me
For this unthankfulness
That grips my racing heart
Fearing You exist. 

God forgive me
For lacking trust in You
That grips my racing heart
Fearing Holiness,
