Prayer Poem: Next Step

To take the next step, Lord
I need far more of Your grace...

Perseverance, child

You are in a hurry
Do not rush ahead of Me
I am right on time

As My chosen one
Be clothed with humility,
patience and kindness

Clothe yourself with Love
Let Peace rule in your heart
Choose to be thankful
