THE FIRES OF INSPIRATION

Left out, left high and dry

I want to sit down and cry

But where will that get me?

To go forward would be

The best plan of action.

To resist the temptation

to give up, to quit.

Oh, if only the fires

of inspiration were lit!

An encouraging word:  the spark

that would light the flame

that would inspire me to remain

in this current ministry

that You have given me.

So many words of discouragement

have left me feeling spiritually lame.

Oh, if only the fires

of inspiration were lit!

Performing this tight-rope walk

upon live electrical wires

has left scars upon my soul.

Oh, if only the fires

of inspiration were lit!

An encouraging word:  the spark

that would light the flame

that would inspire me to remain

in this current ministry

that You have given me.

The spark that would return my

attention to the goal

that You have set before me.

Oh, if only the fires

of inspiration were lit!

great poem.... actually a great prayer. for when our flesh is wk. we want so much to do what we know we should be doing. so we turn hoping gods word or a friends encouragement will help us stay on tract. a prayer for us that when we are strugling we can find that ignition to keep doing what we should( NEVER GIVE UP-NEVER SURRENDER MY FRIEND)
