Lord, please lead me on this journey,
guiding me every step of the way;
so that I may not wander,
and I may not run astray.
God, I will follow You wherever
in this life I’m supposed to go,
but please take me by the hand
and show me what I need to know.
I pray I will find comfort (at last)
in Your loving arms.
Please show me I am right to trust You;
Show me You are the God of warmth.
God, I feel so lost and lonely,
like no human soul sees what I truly need.
In Jesus’ name, I ask you,
will you help me when I take Your lead?
This poem was written for this week’s Six Sentence Stories link-up. I have no idea whether any other Six’ers are believers, so I was initially going to post this at the top with a note that my poem is Christian in nature, but then I decided the title should speak for itself.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!

Does it matter, Astrid, if other Sixers are believers or not?
Each of us join the SSStories with our ink and embark on a journey of multiple facets, origins and cultures. Therein lies the beauty of it, no?

Yes, agree. My reason for originally wanting to post my note at the top was so that those who are offended by religious content, would be able to skip over my piece.

A beautifully expressed prayer, Astrid. Very fitting for the Six prompt word.
The title did strongly indicate its contents.
