Childlike Faith

In the quiet hush of dawn, 
Where sun-kissed dew adorns the grass, 
A child approaches the throne of grace, 
With eyes wide open, heart unburdened.

“Jesus,” whispers innocence, 
“Can I sit upon Your knee? 
Will You tell me stories of the stars, 
And why the waves kiss the shore?”

And Jesus smiles, His gaze so kind, 
He lifts the little one with care, Says, 
“Child, the Kingdom is yours, 
For you trust without pretense.”

The child’s faith, a fragile bloom, 
Not tainted by life’s bitter storms, 
No cynicism, no walls of doubt, 
Just arms outstretched, a soul unguarded.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
