My Prayer (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

Spirit of God, flow through me, Fill my being and set me free From bondages that this life brings From money, pride and prejudice. Spirit of God, sanctify me Wash me now and make me clean; That I might learn the path you’ve made For me, that leads to amazing grace. Spirit of God, I love you so I live for you and want to know How I can change my life to be With you for all eternity.

I don't think Mandy is trying to draw anyone into her Christianity. Maybe she is, but not in this poem. She tries to explain her condition (exposition) and admits that it lacks what she wants. I was comparing that to what Anne Sexton is showing in only one of her poems. I was not relating Amanda's life as a whole to Anne's life as a whole.
