What’s so enticing that lures me toward bad?
What I know is just empty and lonely and sad?
So many temptations to lead me astray.
I make a wrong turn and can soon lose my way.
Daily time with the Lord is a critical need
To keep myself focused in word and in deed,
To talk with Him openly, take time to hear,
To listen intently but not with my ear.
I must hear with my heart what His Spirit reveals.
His Word’s more important than my daily meals.
As my body needs nourishment, food to survive,
My spirit needs feeding to live and to thrive.
I cherish these moments that I spend in prayer.
The Lord always listens, with love and with care.
His love is amazing, not what I deserve.
I can’t earn His love, but I can try to serve.
