dear God-
i pray
sweep the fragments of my past away
do not let them haunt me
for i know that with you, i fear none.

do not let my old ways of thinking
condemn my future-
they are like the thick vines of
a gnarled undergrowth gone deep
into the soul of my thinking-
choking the fresh new shoots that
are growing, nurtured by the words
of God, inspired by the people around me-
those who have earned my respect.

Strike this twisted roots with
your lightning oh Lord
that i may no longer be consumed by such
evil, do not let it blind me,
that i cannot see your Light.

Let me be in your presence Lord,
i just want to follow your light,
forever and ever,
Amen.

ps. its a good thing to have high self-esteem =)
and Lynn loves God, and Lynn loves Lynn. ^^
