a morning prayer

my mind is muddled as i turn

to you for a cuddle this morn
a mounting resistance to my ministry
among those you, to me, have entrusted

this opposition slows me down

that greater mission you implanted
in my heart prompting my praying
for clarity of vision and patience

i also pray for courage to speak

with control of tongue at all times
and to yield to the best in me,
enabling the excellent in others

i also pray for you to assist me

with angels that all drop defences
and begin to listen, to build the rule
of love in hearts of humans!
