A Prayer for Victory over Temptation

Haste to me, Lord, when this fool-heart of mine
Begins to gnaw itself with selfish craving;
Or, like a foul thing scarcely worth the saving,
Swoln up with wrath, desireth vengeance fine.
Haste, Lord, to help, when reason favours wrong;
Haste when thy soul, the high-born thing divine,
Is torn by passion’s raving, maniac throng.

Fair freshness of the God-breathed spirit air,
Pass through my soul, and make it strong to love;
Wither with gracious cold what demons dare
Shoot from my hell into my world above;
Let them drop down, like leaves the sun doth sear,
And flutter far into the inane and bare,
Leaving my middle-earth calm, wise, and clear.

A Prayer For You

 

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2018 with permission of the Author.

I lifted you to the Lord today
as I spent some time in prayer.
I asked God to be near you
and your burdens help you bear.

I could feel the Father smile
each time I called your name
because I talk to Him quite often
and my prayers are the same.

I pray that God will protect you
every minute of every day.
And to always direct your path
and guide you on your way.

I pray that God will give you joy
and shower you with His peace.
I pray He will smile down on you
so His blessings will not cease.

I pray God’s love will keep you
So you won’t waver in your faith.
And may His presence surround you
as He covers you with His grace.

Lenora McWhorter. “A Prayer For You.”

A Wish for Peace

I wish for you,
I wish for me,
I wish for all the world to live in harmony.
When I look into the sky at night and see the stars above,
I wish for peace, I wish for love.

I wish for you
…I wish for you
I wish for me
…I wish for me

I wish for all the world to live in harmony.
When I look into the sky at night and see the stars above,
I wish for peace,
…I wish for peace

I wish for love.

I wish for hope, I wish for joy,
I wish for all these things for every girl and boy,
That where ever in the world they are,
they’ll see the stars above and wish for peace,
And wish for love.

Ah…

When I look into the sky at night and see the stars above,
I wish for peace
…I wish for peace
I wish for love.

Peace by Matshona Dhliwayo

PEACE

“When there is no peace in Heaven
there is no peace in the universe,
when there is no peace in the universe
there is no peace in the cosmos,
when there is no peace in the cosmos
there is no peace in the sky,
and when there is no peace in the sky
there is no peace on Earth.

When there is no peace in your soul
there is no peace in your heart,
when there is no peace in your heart
there is no peace in your mind,
when there is no peace in your mind
there is no peace in your life,
and when there is no peace in your life
there is no peace in your world.

When there is peace in Heaven
there is peace in the universe,
when there is peace in the universe
there is peace in the cosmos,
when there is peace in the cosmos
there is peace in the sky,
and when there is peace in the sky
there is peace on Earth.

When there is peace in your soul
there is peace in your heart,
when there is peace in your heart
there is peace in your mind,
when there is peace in your mind
there is peace in your life,
and when there is peace in your life
there is peace in your world.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

Peace Is Holy Sacred by Terence George Craddock

by | Oct 28, 2025 | Peace Poems, Poems, Religious Poems, Spiritual Poems

Peace Is Holy Sacred

peace by human civilizations under rated
peace by entity humanity under rated
peace by dictators transgressions slighted

peace by megalomaniac leaders crushed

peace so precious
peace so glorious
peace so miraculous

peace so holy sacred

peace an enlightened state of mind
peace a revered state of mind
peace aspired to by enlightened souls;

peace pure God given blessings
peace gifts prosperity potentials
peace blesses multiple cultures

peace blesses societies countries
peace blesses ordinary people families
peace loves sacred peace makers;

I Love Peace Mohammad Younus

by | Oct 28, 2025 | Peace Poems, Poems

I love peace,
The foundation of the world is peace—
Do not shake it.

I choose peace,
Above all that the world offers,
Even at the highest price.
I still choose peace.

I choose peace,
Over the mundane that fades away.
Peace transcends truths and facts,
Unveiling deeper spiritual realities.

I choose peace.
When I have peace, I have it all—
A peace that surpasses all
Human understanding.

I choose peace,
The only peace that embodies
Perpetual ecstasy,
The only peace infused with love,
Immortal peace.

I choose peace,
An invaluable treasure.
Nothing can purchase
Eternal peace,
Which endures endlessly.

I choose peace.
Peace is the promised gift—
Tranquility,
Lawfulness,
A savior.

I choose peace.
Peace is divine grace.
When the Divine knocks and doors open,
He enters, and peace settles within.
Peace is the Gracious God—
His being is peace,
His attributes are peace,
His actions are peace.
