A prayer for the disenchanted

Your forgiveness I ask of you today
For I am saddened and depressed in the worse way

I appreciate all the blessings bestowed upon me
Yet I’m drowning in silent misery

The weight on my shoulders have curved my back
I no longer have the will to pull myself up so I can stand erect, in fact…

I am so hunched over I only see defeat
I call out to you, help me find the victory I seek

Every 1 and 2 steps forward I am pushed back 10
Where is your light? When will the darkness end?

Eternal hope is my refuge
I know with you I cannot lose

Yet today I cry and call out to you
Please my Father pull me thru

Yes I ask you to forgive me for I allowed the demons to step in today
To darken my heart, to alter my way

I cry streams, lakes, rivers, oceans and now I’m pushed to waterfalls
Do I just let go to the demons and end it all?

Hear my cry Almighty, the Most High
At the hand of the demons I must not die

I have read every Psalms, kneeled down in prayer
My heart is pure, my God are you there?

I don’t need signs like lightening strikes or your likeness to appear in smoke
I need you to strengthen my resolve, continually renew my hope.

Forgive me Father if I question your ear
I humble myself to you, for you I love and fear

I will continue to pray with a repentant heart
and wait on you Lord to give me a new start
