A gloriously prayerful, devotional and beautiful sonnet, dear sister! Delightfully musical phrasing and flow. The presentation with artwork and color choices enhances the elevating and lofty effect of your plea to the divine. Nice imagery and message. I find no nits at all.
I love this!
Best of luck in the contest.
Love

An interesting response. I have entered this competition too. You saw God in it. That's fine. I am an agnostic so didn't take that approach. There was enough that was threatening in the picture for you to call upon your God however to protect you against an "enemy". You appeal to the senses eg "the morning breeze" and there is a lot that I admire about your writing. It is appropriate to end with a couplet.

Thank you for having taken the time to leave such a detailed review. Some see spiritual and run for the hills, glad you read it and thank you for understanding the importance of the couplet.

I think you have a lovely piece of writing here, it certainly relates to the piece of artwork and your words and thoughts are so strong calling upon the Lord to let us return to Him, back where we belong, I love your prayer and think it is really excellent

Like my MacDonald's, I'm loving it! Only one thing for your consideration: Did you view it with broken stanzas and found that this worked for you better, or no?

I will usually write a sonnet in this fashion. I like the layout better with a sonnet this way. Thank you for taking the time to read and review.
Comment from LadyMary
The writing exudes great faith, and it is comforting to know that prayers are being said for our nation in these tumultuous times. Rhyme is very good, and the descriptive wording enhances the imagery. LadyMary

What a beautiful prayer, you have captured the worries of many people, and you've written it in great style. Very good imagery, "thine enemy holds in his clutch....." descriptive and clear.....very good work. It is sad yet hopeful at the same time.

This country is in a pivotal place. I pray the people start to realize that when we throw God out he'll leave.

An exquisite contest entry.
You have the ability to touch an aspect on life that lends itself to give your work a deeper meaning of the highest value. Well done

Comment from Jan Anderegg
In crying voice I send this prayer to thee,
to lift the veil and let thy people see.
I loved these two lines. Excellent work. A prayer poem that I could hear being echoed across the mountains and over the rainbow waters below.
