Silent Prayer

Dear God, I need to talk to you I just hope you receive this silent prayer that I am sending you This is really hard for me I don’t know where to start Well let me start off with a thank you You are always in my heart. As you know, I’ve had a troubled past And now it’s catching up with me And it’s coming way too fast. Before I hid how I was feeling And I really don’t know why And now it’s overwhelming Trying so hard not to cry. I have lost my motivation I’m in constant need of affirmation. Why do I minimize what I am worth? Why do I capitalize on every opportunity to get hurt? Why do I care too much? Why do I feel lost? Why do I crave someone’s gentle loving touch? Even though I know I have to let it go I can’t find enough courage to walk through that door. And shut it all behind me I can’t seem to forget Or is what I am feeling The burden of regret? I guess what I am asking for Is for some of your strength to move on And to get past my insecurities And to find my way I couldn’t find the answer So I’ve come to you to pray And I know what I’m asking for Cannot be fixed in one day I just want the pain to subside The heaviness on my heart to rise I want self doubt to evade me I want you to uplift me I know there is a reason for everything you do And you make no mistakes because your perfection is true Thank you for listening You always have the time
