Beautifully imagery in your offering here! ;) You have a strong aabb rhyme scheme throughout although it is difficult to find a rhythm or flow from beginning to end as there is not a consistency in the 'beats' or 'melody' within or between stanzas. It was also a bit difficult to discern the meaning of the capitalization of many words that would usually not be capitalized... And, yes! Prayers will calm all the turbulent waters! ;) thanx for sharing! ;)
in it's streams who feel their --> in its streams who feel their
Does yours flow --> Is your flow
smoothly calmly easing and not --> smoothly, calmly easing and not
emotions our World --> emotions, our World
through freezing us till --> through, freezing us till
together Yearns, --> together Yearn,
stumbling jagged rocks roll breaking off sharp edges as it Churns. --> stumbling, jagged rocks roll, breaking off sharp edges as they Churn.
Wadding through waters --> Wading through waters
Forgiveness calms All --> Forgiveness calm All

Hello and thank you for Reading, Reviewing and Your Welcomed assistance. I do have some questions if you don't mind - It's streams is meant as the many stream or pathway men go. Next line is a question to the reader- does yours? Forgiveness calms All - trying to denote I've experienced Forgiveness for a few.
I'll revise the commas you noted and I Thank you for Sharing your Knowledge and Experience with me. 🙏🏾

"It's" is ONLY a contraction for 'It is'... when you use "It's" be sure you can replace it with 'It is' and have the sentence/phrase still make sense. The possessive form of "It" is "Its" with no apostrophe.
The phrase to which your second question applies is:
"Prayers to our Lord Jesus Christ for Forgiveness calms All of These"
which when read to follow the previous sentence would seem to state: 'prayers...calm all' with both prepositional phrases of "to our Lord Jesus Christ" and "for Forgiveness" modifying the noun 'prayers'.
Have a wonderful evening! ;) :) :

You have really said a lot in this poem. Life is like a river, and it is not enough just to go with the flow, but it requires striving. I like how you end your poem - with the Lord Jesus Christ guiding us, we will make it through the roughest waters.
