A Minister's Needs Poem by Joye Atkinson

Listen to my prayer O Lord hear my humble plea
My heart and mind are weary from people needing me
I know you want me to be sunshine in the rain
But just who can I talk to when my heart is filled with pain
Please don't get me wrong O Lord I long to do your will
But there are times I just need to listen and be still
Sometimes I need to go away where no one is around
A place where only you can speak like to Moses on holy ground
Then after you have spoken and I'm feeling ten feet tall
Please give me strength to minister for I know this is my call - Amen
