Encouragement Poems

Positive Inspirational Thoughts



Encouragement poems are special. You see, these inspiring words of art come from the emotions, experiences, and soul of the creator. Often times, Poets let us into their mind, heart, and spirit as they've been inspired from their personal trails, tribulations, adversity, problems, obstacles....you name it. Let these words wash over you, comfort you, and inspire you.


The Power of Prayer



Psalm 23


The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down on green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; they rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.


Inspirational Poems 2:

 

My Evening Prayer


If I have wounded any soul to-day,

If I have caused one foot to go astray,

If I have walked in my own willful way 

Good Lord, forgive!

 

If I have uttered idle words or vain,

If I have turned aside from want or pain,

Lest I myself should suffer through the strain -

Good Lord, forgive!

 

If I have craved for joys that are not mine,

If I have let my wayward heart repine,

Dwelling on things of earth, not things divine -

Good Lord, forgive!

 

If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold,

If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,

When Thou hast given me some part to hold -

God Lord, forgive!

 

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee,

forgive the secret sins I do not see,

That which I know not, Father, teach Thou me -

Help me to live.

 

Charles H. Garbriel

 

 


Encouragement Poems 3:


A Prayer for Every Day


Make me too brave to lie or be unkind.

Make me too understanding, too, to mind

The little hurts companions give, and friends,

The careless hurts that no one quite intends.

 

Make me too thoughtful to hurt others so.

Help me to know

The inmost hearts of those for whom I care,

Their secret wishes, all the loads they bear,

 

That I may add my courage to their own.

May I make lonely folks feel less alone,

And happier ones a little happier yet.

May I forget

 

What ought to be forgotten; and recall,

Unfailing, all

That ought be recalled, each kindly thing,

Forgetting what might sting.

 

To all upon my way,

Day after day,

Let me be joy, be hope! Let me life sing!
