with both my eyes my bed I see..
then falling down upon my knees..
i bowed my head and rubbed my nose..
then got a twitch in both my toes..
i sighed aloud and turned my head..
leaned forward resting on my bed..
i thought to say ..my Lord to keep...
but next i started seeing sheep..
i thought that night upon the day..
both how i worked and how i played..
about the bad, about the good..
and if i did the things i should..
i counted blessings great and small..
while watching shadows on my wall..
i yon then squint to see the time..
and one whole minute's passed me by..
i thought i'd rest my eyes a peep..
then wondered off into the deep..
then later on i heard a creek..
and woke up falling fast asleep..
i meant to pray i member that..
but nothing else in nothing flat..
my neck a crick and back a wreck..
and under me both legs were cramped..
i got up slow and got to bed..
shook the fairy dust out of my head..
i meant to pray i member that..
but nothing else in nothing flat..

I meant to pray..

but I don't because I can't ever focus on what the bible says.

I meant to pray..

But I don't because my mind runs wild when I try.

I meant to pray..

But what's the point, when God seemingly doesn't hear me?

He hears you and loves you! It takes practice in concentration for both studying and praying! 😋

Easy for you to say. You probably have no problem focusing when you read the bible.

I use to, i had to learn to be aware of drifting off to those other 20 things you were talking about earlier! Read this next week for 5 minutes at a time a day. Then up it to 7 minutes the next week, ect........😋
