Praying Through Poetry

My poems are born during times of difficulties, confessions, praise and adoration. Revealing my most intimate thoughts and feelings to God in this manner solidifies my prayer to Him. I’m able to stay more focused as I talk to Him. My poems are also my journal. I can read over and re-visit my emotional state before the Lord intervened in my situation. This not only re-affirms my belief and trust in Him, it lends credence to His promise never leave or forsake me in my time of trouble.
