Bother (Psalm) By Dayanah Ahmawanah 💛

My father
Why do you even bother with me
I know your heart
I’ve done grieved
I try to love
But people get offended
I try to share your word
But it gets rejected
And I wasn’t given the
gift of patience in this life
I’ve been told that I need to be more gentle with my knife ,
Ahba
But all I want is what you want
Whatever it is you feel needs to change
Have your way
Make me more gentle
If it’s your will
Tell me what to let go
I’ll be still
As you cut off the debris
that has fallen from the enemy
Father help me
Must I be more kind
Ahba check my heart
check my mind
What will you find
Have I ever sought to do my brother harm
I pray the answer is no ,
I do my best to love
Live according to your design
Not this world,
They aren’t ready for me
Because they’re not ready for you
And you are in me ,
So give me wisdom to hold my tongue
Give me strength to hold my hands by side
Give me will to forgive
Humility to judge myself first
And not be a hypocrite
But be a catalyst to this world (light)
I praise you for this life
And for even given me a second of your time
To hear this rhyme
And give me peace and assurance
As I get this off my chest , (pen)
So I can endure the next battle of
Flesh verses spirit
Knowing if my endgame
Is your kingdom of heaven
Then safety is a given
And even when people get offended
I won’t feel defeated
Because blessed is He
Who is not offended in thee
The ones who love you
Will love your truth
No matter what it requires them to do
And as surely I have grown
, and woken up
The remnant will too
I’ll plant the seeds
and let another reap
The gospel is not mine to only keep
So even though most will go astray like sheep
I will bother with them
Like you bother with me
Humbly
Kindly
Faithfully
Sharply
Patiently
And
Gently
However the spirit , not the flesh leads me
Father in heaven, please
Lead me
Ahman 💕
