My Will or Thine?

Am I really listening, LORD
Taking time to sit with You 
Inquiring of Your thoughts for me
Lest I run on blissfully? 

I can throw out prayerful words
Flung while rushing out the door 
But have I listened, really heard
Words that You have spoken, LORD? 

No surprise I wonder why 
Prayers seem unanswered as I try 
Asking You to do my bidding 
Yet forget You as I am spinning 

Forgive me, LORD, for my pretense 
In such a way addressing You
With presumptuous arrogance
Assuming blessings I would choose 

Please realign my mind with Yours
My Creator, Father, Friend
The One Who has rescued me 
Designed my life, set me free 

To walk with You in Your design 
Fulfill Your will in me please
That I may finish earthly life 
Aligned with You eternally
