Pray About It

By Navashia' Akins

This book was designed to shine light on situations that can take a person under. The pressure to do the right thing and live sometimes can be to much for an individual. Love is the only cure to a person that doesn't have any hope, and nothing to lose. So I wanted to express myself and at the same time bring healing to the bleeding hearts that have felt like me. My message is to trust the creator so the creator can bless us with the things he intended to bless us with. When we get our blessings from our creator our blessings will overflow, and God is no respecter person.

Navashia' Akins

My name is Navashia' Akins and I currently live in North Little Rock, Arkansas. I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas with my single mom and my 3 younger siblings. I am also the daughter of a guy who always long to have a relationship with me, and the daddy that was placed in his place. I am a wife and a mother of two children. I love to express myself. Pray about it is my first collection of poems. I really was confused on how I wanted to get my poetry out into the world to see what type of response I will get from the things that are on my heart. I am a loving person and I hate not being able to help a person especially in need. I have grown up to believe that God wants us to pray about things and also share our burdens so we can be healed. I used to want to take my life because I felt condemned living and I will always hear people tell me to pray about it and sometimes I wish they would keep that phrase to themselves, because them saying that doesn’t help me. The things that are close to my heart is surrounded around the condition of humankind. My poems will be insight for the reader to be able to connect with my dream of becoming a writer to give a voice to the things that make us psychotic. I have grown up to believe that God wants us to pray about situations, and share our burdens and the burdens of others. I believe these things are necessary for healing and restoration. I searched for poetry that I could gain inspiration from, and spoke to me and my life situations but never found any. In my darkest days my search for that type of poetry ended when I looked within myself and realized God's light shining within me to write this type of poetry in the midst of my troubles. So this is for the individuals who felt alone like I have before. I hope through my poetry and life lessons you know that you are not alone. My prayers are that you receive strength and learn of God's love and truth in the midst of your situations. May you find freedom to live without denial and trusting in God for your future! God Bless!

The Little Girl

A bud starts to grow

And blossoms into a flower

So will the little girl

To make sure she grows

And gives life to many

She must be watered with love

And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

Luke 9:48

I Used To Ask

I used to ask my mother

Why was we hungry all the time

She would reply

Your dad got paid and spent every dime
