Written for the Lighthouse poetry contest January 2021
I delight to do Your will,
O my God, and Your law is within my heart.

O, help me to be calm and still,
So you can gently heal all the hurt.

I long to see Your face,
O, Your presence is all I need.
To just feel comforted by Your embrace,
And from all my worries and cares freed.

Forever, I long to dwell in Your secret place,
In gratitude to pour out my worship.
For all Your mercy and all the grace,
Lord, I’m thankful for this precious relationship.

Form: Free Verse

"JANUARY PROMPT"

Psalms 40:8

I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.


I don't know about you, but devotionals help me stay on track. I came across this one. It is by Charles Stanley "Discovering the Will of God part 4." I find Dr. Stanley's devotionals to be very helpful. You will find this one to help you write this prompt. Look within yourselves and ask, "Am I doing the will of God through my actions?" Include in your verse, I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart. Highlight in grape, please!
