Driven by the Holy Spirit

As the days go by I feel like I want to sit and cry
Lord you know me more than I know myself
And Lord though I have worked and studied hard am still sitting on the shelf.

Sometimes I complain and murmur Lord you know its true
And the truth is Lord sometimes I just don’t know what to do.
I pray, I cry and seek your face each day
Because Lord I never want to go astray.

So I purposed in my heart to do whatever task am given
Because I know that by your Holy Spirit I am driven
Not only for financial gain and the status that go with it
But Lord you know I have studied hard and it seems like no one cares a bit.

I am given the most menial of tasks to do
And when I am done Lord not even a little “Thank you?”
I laugh to myself so many times they must think am mad
But the joy of the Holy Ghost keeps me from doing bad.

I could cuss and quarrel like others do
But Lord what does that say about my relationship with you?
And so Lord these are the reasons why I just sit and let things ride
You promised to keep us in perfect peace who in your word abide

And so Lord as the devil uses them I glorify you each day and glide.
So Lord from my heart for today this is what I pray
Just give me the strength I need to continue abiding in your way.

About this poem:

I was at work and it seems that no matter what I do my efforts were never appreciated. I have learnt from a long time ago not to let this get to me and so I had to vent by writing this poem.
