Hey, folks! Back again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Here is another addition from my compilation of college poetry (trying saying that 5 times fast). When writing this, I thought back to Jesus’ parable of the four soils; in my life, if I am being unfruitful, I imagine myself reflecting the soil with weeds (too concerned with worldly affairs to bear fruit). As such, I then pray that God would weed me out, removing any influence from my heart that does not glorify Him and replacing it with His presence.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoing the Will of my Father\u201d<\/p>\n
Lord, what is it that holds me back from following You with my whole heart?
\nIs it selfish desires, that choke out the faith that first had such a glorious start?
\nLord, I desire to walk strong in You and end life\u2019s race standing tall;
\nYet, without allowing You to do a work in my life, I will only short of the mark fall.
\nLord, renew the fire in my heart; help me keep my eyes on You.
\nPour out on me Your Holy Spirit afresh, so that I may speak and live what is true.
\nLord Jesus, You are the source of all that is good in my life.
\nHelp me to live according to Your will, enduring pain, persecution, and strife.
\nShepherd of my soul, Jesus my Lord,
\nBe the hand that guides my spiritual sword.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
