Poets Prayer12am

Lord,

I humbly come before you now
to seek your favor
and to plead my case

Please grant to me the ability
to continue writing
I’m weary Lord, and ready to
throw in the towel.

I’m no quitter
but the mind is weak
the hands don’t want to type
and the body just wants to
sleep

And there is a little bit of
writers block making the rounds
as well-
which is annoying because, well
it just is

I know that I have much more to say
tonight as I write Lord
I made the commitment to do
all twenty four hours- I don’t think
that I was thinking very clearly when
I made this decision

Given the chance again Lord-
I’d still make this decision, simply
because I love to write-

Thank you Lord
for hearing my prayer
thank you for listening
from here on out I’ll do what you
say.

Amen

One thought on “Poets Prayer12am

  1. This is a beautiful prayer \(poet’s Prayer) to stay awake in the marathon. I love the lines, ” I’m no quitter but / the mind is weak/the hands don’t want to type and / the body wants to sleep.” Beautiful flow and rhyming.
