This Is My Prayer For Myself

Yoalah Brinson

Please know that I pray for me
I pray negative people get held at a distance
I pray God will come to my deference in an instant
I pray I never get defensive when my name is mentioned
It’s better for me to turn away than the living tension
but listen to God
I pray I live life intentionally
And when I'm down God is my friend in my need
I serve God before I serve myself
I pray I live for more than the pursuit of wealth
I pray I look vertical and keep my eyes off the horizon
I pray I live through God ocean of grace and I float in
I pray I worship God and not the church
I pray I keep my head held high and I walk in my worth
I won't ever let anyone tell me that I were made for less
I pray I give and get blessed
and I pray I spend my life looking forward and not back
I pray I never forget where I came from no matter where I'm at
I pray my days are long and my nights are calm
I pray my body stays strong and I live to fight on
I pray I find something to believe In and my legacy lives on
I pray that God is my reason and my soul trails on
