Be By My Side- A Prayer Poem by Valsa George

Be By My Side- A Prayer

Rating: 5.0


In the wild confusion of my life, I see your face
A kind countenance making bright my days
Through rugged tracks when I stumble along
I feel an unseen hand holding me strong

When bewildered by the thoughts of death
You assure me that life extends beyond mortal breath
As I get lost in the dank and dark alley of wickedness
You divert my steps into the well lit path of righteousness

When I gloat over my own trivial accomplishments
You remind me of my littleness through mild chastisements
When I lose myself in the grip of vanity
You open my inner eye to restore my sanity

When tossed by the currents of fiery storms
Oh, Lord! Make me seek the safety of your arms
When drowning in the sea of escalating pain
Strengthen and sustain me, and keep me sane

Make me feel, you are there in every rhythm of life
More when life becomes burdensome with problems rife
Over the arid deserts and the stormy turbulent sea
I pray, you be with me as an abiding presence piloting me

My Lord! Without you my life will be in peril
Never let me fall into the snares of the devil
Do not desert me, stay by my side now and ever
Be my guiding light, sanctify every one of my endeavour

In the wild confusion of life a soul wanders here and there and definitely watches the face of God in imagination to find the path. He urges Lord to keep him in safety and prays for release out of pain and agony. Very nice and wonderful prayer poem shared on. Hearty touching.

To me, this prayer is fit to be recited at morning assemblies in each and every school apart from being a prayer for every single soul elsewhere. This prayer has squeezed into it the righteousness and other virtues which we have read about in various prayers in our day to day life. What an appeal! ! When I pride over my own trivial accomplishments You remind me of my helplessness through mild chastisements When I lose myself in the grip of vanity You open my inner eye to restore my sanity.

A personal communication or petition addressed to God esp in the form of supplication, adoration, praise, contrition, or thanksgiving can make our life beautiful and divinely.......Valsa......amazing write......10
