Another Way

I pray for You to move the mountains for they are towering in front and over me
I pray for You to calm the seas for they are raging incessantly
I pray for You to overturn the trials for they are tempting to divide my heart
I pray for You to kill the winds for they are howling fiercely to rip me apart
I pray for You to out the fires for they are blazing relentlessly
I pray for You to stop the waters for they are threatening to drown me
I pray for You to remove the thorns for they are tormenting my life
I pray for You to end the nights for they are prolonging the strife

Another way for me to pray:
Let the towering mountains remain, but move me to climb them with Your strength
Let the raging seas remain, but calm my anxious mind with Your peace
Let the tempting trials remain, but fill me with Your joy and a singleness of heart
Let the howling winds remain, but plant me firmly in Your truths
Let the blazing fires remain, but refine me in Your ways
Let the threatening waters remain, but purify me in Your righteousness
Let the tormenting thorns remain, but lavish me with Your grace
Let the overwhelming nights prolong, but make me sing Your praise
