A Prayer Poem for Divine Guidance
by Robert Gresak
DISCERNMENTDivine God-self within let me truly discernand in that begin to turn from the lower to the higher. Divine God-self within let me truly discern and in that begin to learn of the lower being subservient to the higher. Divine God-self within let me truly discern and in that begin to burn away all that is not of thee. Divine God-self within let me truly discern what is truth and non-truth and thereby to earn the blessed wisdom of truly knowing even as I am known. Note from webmaster of a-spiritual-journey-of-healing.com, Katherine T Owen I really love this one, Robert. Thank you. I would slightly query the use of the word "earn" in the last stanza. This poem speaks of such surrender, such giving up of our own self-concepts and plans. I suspect you will agree that no matter how much work we do to spiritually surrender and let God decide for us, it always feels like a free gift when wisdom is received. But then hard to make that scan and rhyme with discern! It has done me good to read and breathe these words. Without God I am nothing.
