Prayer Poems – 10 Poems to Boost Your Quiet Time With Your Maker

You can use prayer poems to motivate yourself into praying as many people don’t pray. Prayer is very powerful as it provides us with an opportunity to express our desires and gratitude to God.

The act of prayer is so important because it provides the liberty to freely air your appreciation, love, and frustration to your father and maker.

Prayer does not always need to be vocal but your supplication and gratitude can be carefully crafted in poems.

These prayer poems are powerful as they can be prayed over and over and a large number of worshippers can participate in the prayer.

1. Title: “The Prayer’s Prayer”

If I should brood or rave, O heaven above,
Pity me not, let the world be fed with love.
In my madness, should I strike me dead,
Heed the grass growing upon my grave, it’s said.

If I snarl ‘neath sun and sod’s cruel game,
Whimper and clamor, grace to own my blame.
In sun and rain, in season’s display,
The shining silence of God’s scorn at play.

Thank God, stars beyond my feeble might,
If I must travail in a wrathful night.
My tears won’t vex a moth or cut a flower,
No curse of mine has such cruel power.

Men say the sun was darkened, but I had
Thought it beamed on Calvary, not so sad.
He who hung on the Torturing Tree,
Heard crickets sing and was glad, finally free.

2. Title: “These Inward Trials”

I prayed to the Lord to grow,
In faith, love, every grace to know.
To deepen His salvation’s trace,
And seek more fervently His face.

He taught me to pray this way,
And I trust He answered without delay.
Yet, the response drove me near despair,
A path where anguish filled the air.

I hoped for an instant reply,
For sins subdued, and rest nigh.
Instead, He revealed my hidden strife,
Letting hell’s powers assail my life.

These trials within are designed,
To free you from self and pride confined.
Breaking schemes of earthly joy,
So you may seek your all in Me, oh boy.

3. Title: “It’s Okay”

In the shadows of a difficult climb,
Where sunlight seems hard to find.
The Lord stands with you, divine,
At the tunnel’s end, a promise, a sign.

You may doubt, and that’s alright,
Belief may falter, in the night.
Yet, rest assured, a pot of gold,
Awaits at the rainbow’s end, bold.

Through the bad times, you’ll prevail,
The sun will shine, without fail.
The journey’s tough, but you’re not alone,
A pot of gold, your strength has grown.

In the darkness, when hope feels thin,
Hold on tight, let the journey begin.
Through the trials, the clouds will part,
A pot of gold awaits, a brand-new start.

4. Title: “A Prayer In Spring”

Grant us joy in the flowers today,
Let not our thoughts wander far away.
Forget the uncertain harvest’s fear,
Keep us in the spring of the year.

Bring pleasure in the orchard’s white,
By day, like nothing, by night, a ghostly sight.
Bless us with joy in the buzzing bees,
Around perfect trees, a harmonious tease.

Make us gleeful in the darting bird,
Above the bees, a meteor unheard.
With needle bill, it thrusts and stands,
A blossom suspended in mid-air lands.

For this is love, and only love,
Reserved for God’s grace from above.
To sanctify and fulfill His will,
Love, a purpose that we must instill.

5. Title: “My Prayer”

Lord, on that Calvary cross so old,
Your blood poured, agony untold.
Mocked, scorned, spat upon in disdain,
By those who doubted Your divine reign.

Yet, the Father had a purpose, clear as day,
From the tomb, You rose, victory’s display.
Death, hell, and the grave, You overcame,
For a sinner’s soul, like mine, to claim.

One day You called, “Take up your cross,
Follow Me,” a profound emboss.
Cleansing my heart on that glorious day,
Imparting a new life along the way.

I thank you, Lord, for redeeming me,
If one prayer I lift, earnest plea.
Keep me yielded to Thee each day,
Guide my steps, Lord, on Your way.

6. Title: “A Mother’s Love Prayer”

Lord, guide me as the Mother
You’ve chosen me to be,
With a heart full of love,
Parent to my precious three.

Grant me wisdom and courage,
A leader both righteous and true.
Through You, Lord, may I live,
An example of goodness to view.

Teach me patience and understanding,
Compassion and kindness, I pray.
May my daughters possess tender hearts,
Kind, forgiving, and true in their way.

In our physical absence, Lord,
May they know and hold,
The virtues instilled in their hearts,
The love, wisdom, and faith that unfold.

7. Title: “This Brand New Day”

On this new day, I step in faith,
Uncertain of what awaits,
Dear God, my morning prayer I raise,
Take control, guide all my ways.

These eyes see not where danger hides,
Lord, be my guide, stay by my side.
Illuminate the paths I should tread,
Grant me grace to discern ahead.

Show me the journeys I should make,
Steer me along the right path to take.
Grant me wisdom to know Your will,
When to strive and when to be still.

Help me love and trust You more,
Let Your love through me outpour.
Bring me back safely, I implore,
With praise for You, my heart shall adore.

8. Title: “Go With Grace”

As each morning of the month unfolds,
Upon your bed, as day’s tale is told,
May renewed grace be your guide,
To face the day with strength inside.

May favor and laughter grace your hours,
A month bringing breakthroughs, love in showers.
Reasons to sing, moments so sweet,
May joy in abundance be your heartbeat.

May each week passing by,
Enhance your beauty, reaching the sky.
A source of joy to those around,
May positivity in you be found.

In the Lord’s loving hand,
May you find guidance and understand,
As you shine brightly along your way,
A beacon of His love each day.

9. Title: “Out of This Life”

From this life, I’ll take no wealth,
Silver and gold, left for earth’s stealth.
Cherished and hoarded, all must remain,
After my departure, my gains won’t sustain.

A rare painting, toiled for with care,
Hangs on my wall, but I can’t take it there.
Boasting its worth, calling it mine,
Leave it behind when my time aligns.

Gathered and kept, possessions all,
Left behind when asleep, in death’s thrall.
Wonder often what I’ll own,
In the afterlife, when I’m alone.

What will He find, what will He see,
In the soul that answers the call for me?
Or at last, will I find in my final repose,
All I worked for, left behind as it goes?

10. Title: “A Prayer for You”

Today, in prayer, I raised you high,
Seeking God’s presence nigh.
I asked Him to be by your side,
Helping you bear the burdens you hide.

With each call of your name,
I felt the Father’s smile, not the same.
A frequent talker with Him, it’s true,
My prayers echo a familiar view.

May God guard you every single day,
Directing your path along the way.
May joy and peace in your heart find space,
His blessings, a continuous embrace.

May His love keep your faith strong,
Surrounding you, where you belong.
His presence, like a comforting embrace,
Covering you daily with abundant grace.

Prayer poems of thanksgiving are highly effective and uplift the souls of those who participate in it.

It is important to make time to communicate with God using prayer poems and songs. I hope you find satisfaction in the process.
