Captured this Sunflower 🌻 field near my parents home, after church yesterday. 💛💛💛
The Sunflower Prayer
Plant me like a sunflower, Lord,
deep in the fold of your will.
Forge my faith in soil’s darkness,
sprout hope up as I wait still.
Grow me like a sunflower, Lord,
leaning close toward your light.
Extend bright rays of direction,
keep me warm in your sight.
Adorn me like a sunflower, Lord,
humbly wearing a righteous crown.
Stack petals of mercy and grace,
golden forgiveness in Christ I’ve found.
Use me like a sunflower, Lord,
to offer nourishment and cheer.
Harvest the Spirit’s fruits within me,
encourage others you are drawing near.
Surround me like a sunflower, Lord,
in a field of believers ripe with faith.
Bring us together for a troubled world,
display your love through our bouquet.
Thank you, Lord, for creating
endearing reminders of your Word.
Looking up,
away from the earth’s concerns,
my gaze meets yours,
and joy
like a mighty sunflower
stirs.
