(154) Prayer And Testimony Poem by Melvina Germain

Don’t be afraid to call out his name, although you should never
do it in vain. Allow Jesus to come into your life and reign over
your heart, giving you a brand new start. Take a walk in the
dark of night knowing that God is holding you in his sight, don’t
be afraid my sisters and brothers evil will see them standing
beside you, God on the right and Jesus on the left.

You have no reason to fear, God and his son Jesus will be seen
standing there. The rain will pour and the thunder will sound,
the funnel clouds of nature will soon hit the ground but you
have no reason to fear, God and Jesus will always keep you in
the clear.

Now raise up your hands and praise the Lord, look to the sky,
look around you, enjoy the gifts God has given you.
Raise up your hands, my sisters and brothers, praise the Lord
this wonderful day, let him hear what you have to say. Say it
loud and say it clear for all God’s children to hear.

I stand here among you for all to see, I know Jesus is here
beside me, he’ll hold my hand and walk me through, he’ll allow
me to speak to you. He’ll give me the words, he wants you to
hear, I’ll deliver them while he stands here.

If you don’t have a relationship with God, then this is your
blessed day. You have been chosen to be here today, this is
not a coincidence, there are no coincidences, you are where
you are suppose to be, here praising the Lord with me. Now
open your heart and allow Jesus in, ask him to be a part of
your life, to save you from heartache and strife, ask him to
walk by your side. Tell him you no longer want to hide. Let
the truth be known, sisters and brothers, you have finally grown.

(Speak sister, speak to the Lord, he wants to hear what you
have to say.)

I know I’ve sinned Lord, I know I havn’t been the best role
model for my children. I stand here truly humble today Lord,
a little embarrassed to say the least, but today I know I must
face the truth and leave my wrong doings in the past. I ask
you Lord to listen to what I have to say, I ask you Lord
to teach me how to pray. I’ve walked the streets in the
dead of night with only one thing on my mind, I needed
money to pay for my addiction, the root of my evil was
my affliction, drugs and booze, oh I had to use in order
to survive. My soul was dead, my feelings numb, oh I
knew that I was considered dumb by my friends and
family. They shook their heads when they looked at me.
Lord, I’m here for all to see what drugs and booze has
done to me. It took my self-esteem away, it ruined each
and every day, my youthful look has gone astray, never
to come back another day. I stand before you a disfigured
woman, but now I’m clean and I definitely feel human. It’s
been six months, I’ve walked the straight and narrow.
With your help Lord, I know I’ll never falter, but Father I
ask you now, please keep me out of harms way. I know
Satan will be lurking about, waiting for a weak moment.
I need to be strong and aware that Satan is always near.
Lord God in Heaven, I give myself to you and know that
You will see me through. I ask this Lord in the name of
your son Jesus Christ, Amen.
