My prayer ... Another Time

I pray
Not now
Not today
Not tomorrow
Not that day soon to come

I am ready
Yet I am not ready
Fearful yet joyful

I pray Lord
Don’t let it be

More time I pray
I desire more time

My life
His life
in Your plan
when our work is done
when You deem it is time
It is time

Yet I pray
Not now
Not today
Not tomorrow
Not that day soon to come
Another time

Bring peace
comfort
Not comfort from pain
different
to put it into words
difficult,  cumbersome
God knows

Bring  peace
to me
to him
Sorrow not our hearts
with fear
when “what if’s”
become “why” and “how”

Help us rely on You
Help us listen
to Your still small voice
to hear it above
the roar of the pounding
of our heartbeat

Help us stay calm
Enfold us within Your
loving embrace
Keep us content
Help us rely on You
for our every need
our every want
and desire

Help us move on
alone

But yet Lord
I still pray
Not now
Not today
Not tomorrow
Not that day soon to come
Another time

Help us remain faithful,
obedient to Your call
on our lives
always

Helps us Lord
hear my request
deem it worthy

I pray dear Lord
My Savior and Redeemer
I am Yours
as is he

The walk
we’ll take
alone to You
Let it not be
Now
Not Today
Not Tomorrow
Not the day soon to come
But another time
Another Day.


Amen.
