Trust

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy." Proverbs 13:12

Oh Lord, I ask you hear my prayer to you tonight.
I thank you for your mercy and grace in my life.
I am quite certain that without it,
I would not be here today.
Your providence is evident in so many ways.

You have spoken to me about your love for me, Lord.
You will not leave me nor forsake me.
You will not abandon me when the going gets tough.

The going is getting tough, Lord.
The trust is gone - there is no one left but you.
Only you can restore this heart of mine.
I am bereft and without hope
Seeking you in the valley of the death of my dreams.

Every beat of my heart hurts worse than the last,
Each breath taken is an attempt to ease pain.

God, how can there be so many tears inside one person?
What eyes deserve to shed them in the presence of one who shed his life?
And yet, they flow freely still.

I seek to be strong like you in the face of adversity,
But as a ship struck in the night by a torpedo,
I sink to the bottom of the ocean,
Lifeless and lost in a sea of activity.

Lord, will you not step in?
Will you not require some measure of fairness for
and from your servants?

I cry out for you.
