A Minister's Prayer

Listen to my prayer O Lord 
Hear my humble plea
My heart and mind are weary
From people needing me
I know You want me to be 
Sunshine in the rain
But just who can I talk to 
When my heart is filled with pain
Please don't get me wrong O Lord
I long to do your will
But there are times I just need
To listen and be still
Sometimes I need to go away
Where no one is around
A place where only You can speak
Like to Moses on Holy Ground
Then after You have spoken
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
Please give me strength to minister
For I know this is my call - Amen
