Dear Lord....
Enlighten our minds,
Strengthen our hearts,
Cleanse our souls,
Tame our demons,
And renew our faith.
For you are The One, my Lord,
Who giveth salvation,
And wipeth the tears from the weeping eye.
You I turn to,
And this You return to me:
A knowledge that in your loving hands I will be safe from harm.
Therefore I will sing your praises,
Both day and night,
And with the licence of the poets pen,
I will try my best to describe Your Majesty.
This I pray dear Lord - to You.
Well actually I don't as I'm an atheist, so I guess I'm gonna burn in hell.
Oh well.

not going to work.
doctrinally, it fails to address the Almighty in the name of Jesus.
This omission alone renders the prayer unheard by the Almighty.
I guess, since you are an atheist, you would not know the proper way to form a prayer to a God in which you have no knowledge of, nor faith in.
BTW? There is no burning hell, according to the scriptures, the doctrine of the burning fiery hell, was grafted onto the truth by those who embraced Babylonian pagan doctrines, as a means to explain verses in the Bible to which they did not have understanding.

For an alleged atheist that is a good start ! Keep it up and you as soul will soon help to adjust your mind to going up to being an agnostic, then a True Faith-son of God in Jesus will follow. I know this by direct personal experience ...thinking that I was an atheist at ages 12-25, then an agnostic at ages 25-36, then full soul identity at age 36, Spirit Birth at age 37 and eternally in Finality Destiny on Paradise ...in AD1977
Now at age 68 physically, I am for over 30 years to date a knowing Jesusonian, Evangelist, and Theologian.
This is very true, and is good news if you reflect upon this:
There are Two Persons you can never run away from:
GOD and yourSelf (a Spirit-led SOUL personality)
In your prayer, there are no "demons" here to tame -- just our own errors and willful sins. "The devils/demons made me do it !" is a foolish copout which our All-Wise Father God does not "buy". Jesus fully won over all demons and fallen beings back in AD30, and forevermore Jesus is Sovereign here !

Prayer comes from the heart, not the mind. God doesn't want poetry in a prayer He simply wants you to talk to Him as a Father and as a Friend.

Actually, now that you ended that way after thinking it was very nice, I'm inclined to say:
You're reaching for something
You cannot find.
It's out there somewhere,
Lord, give him a sign!
Have a happy day Luke!

"Well actually I don't as I'm an atheist, so I guess I'm gonna burn in hell."
I think this part is very well written, and I commend you on the truth in it.
