I Prayed for an Angel

I was sitting in a dark green room,

Full of nothing but a prisoner, and much gloom.

I prayed to God that in the midst of it all he’d give me peace.

And send an angel down from heaven with some relief.

For I am nothing but a man, my strength is week.

I need your grace and wisdom Lord; it’s what I seek.

Sick from head too toe. Unsure of were next I would go.

With a mind unsteady and a heart so heavy,

I cried Lord God almighty here’s one load you must carry!

Then in the distance was a whisper from the savior. Said to me through lips of angels,

Peace be still! Low I am with you; I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.

I’m with you know child, and I’ll be with you until the very end.

Peace be still, it reminded me,

Peace be still!

Peace be still!

So I turned to my right and saw the angel of humility.

And to my left was the angel of integrity.

Straight ahead, the angel of direction.

And behind the angel of reflection.

I was really surrounded by angels on high,

Everything that I needed, they were there to supply.

Looking down at my cup, I saw it was running over.

It was just a reminder that this test is just a trail of my faith.

And everything else would fit into place.

In his time, at his pace.

So in the waiting process I turned and had a good talk with Integrity.  For she was like a lifetime friend, that had shortly gone away, but would return later on that same day.

Then from her I turned to Reflection, and she even made me cry, I didn’t make a noise, not even a tear came to my eye.

But inside I cried. Trying hard not to let Integrity see me. But she did and told me to listen to reflection. And learn from her words of wisdom.

I was fighting with humility all the while, one I never really liked from the get go.

But when reflection was done she told me to submit to Humility, for that was the only way I’d ever see Direction.

So at first I had a real problem with her.

She was very outspoken, and demanding. She was also very hard to see and understand, until God reviled her real self unto me.

Wow Humility, is actually beautiful.

Her long ways were just like Jesus her maker.

Her shape one of a strong solid foundation.

Her stature made you bow at the sight of her presence. 

And there only there on my knees could I see a glimpse of Direction.

I could see her as the leader, and the others would follow.

I noticed she was well hidden, and could not be gotten to unless you had passed the other angels God had given her. 

Still down on my knees I humbly asked Humility is I could see Direction?

Are you sure you’re ready for her she said, she comes straight down from heaven.

I’m ready I replied, to my own self have I died.

Softly but sweetly her answer was this,

God gave you Integrity, which in return gave you Honesty.

God gave you Reflection, which in return she gave you, memoirs of day’s gone bye. And wisdom to prepare you for your future.

God gave you Humility, which yes, in return made you ready to see the next angel, and gave you a settled peace within, that reminded you whatever you’re going through you can make it.

Now I only I since you have humbled yourself, can gladly with no hesitation present to you the one and only for your life, Direction! Which in return will lead you through life, direct every path, keep, strengthen, and protect you until you reach life final destination.

Direction she’s the best, she holds the ball. Direction she still leads during times we fall. Direction she’s smart, she’s right, sits tall. Direction has always been the greatest of them all.

    I prayed to God to send me angel. But one wasn’t enough he sent me four.

Just to comfort my heart behind this bar filled door. And these are the four he gave for protection.

Integrity

Reflection

Humility

And

Direction.
