A Lonely Man's Prayer

Dear God, please help me to love?
Falling in love has always 
	been easy,
But I’ve been hurt so many times
	that I can’t trust (her/or myself).

Perhaps in time I’ll pick-up
	the shattered pieces and mend them
With your help, Lord.  I trust it will come.

Difficult is the path of the broken hearted,
And in life, I’ve only found true happiness
	in you, Lord.
I pray that my feelings for the one
	I love doesn’t lead to more heartache.
But God, I know that I’ll always have
	a friend in you.

Come what will, keep me in your grace.
