Dear Lord

Dear Lord, I'm so tired, things just aren’t going my way, it just keeps getting harder and harder, every single day. It’s problem after problem, i don't know what to do, i ask you for help, but my cries don't seem to reach you. Or maybe it’s your will, because you know what’s best, maybe I need to learn something, so I get put to the test. I need your mercy, I need your peace, I really need you to hear me, and help me heal please. I know you’ve never left my side, and you’ve always been there, I just didn’t see it, but I know you care. Heavenly Father, what am I doing wrong? Can't you hear my prayers? Its been so long. Am I destined to hell? Or what am I paying for? I know your timing is perfect, but I can't deal with the pain anymore. I also know that one day, all this will make sense, or maybe I'm not worthy, and this is my penitence. Whatever it may be, Lord please dont leave my side, i know my babies need me, i need you to be my guide. I can't let them down, i gotta hide this pain, they don’t understand, it’s so hard to maintain. I know they hurt too, and they worry about me, cuz im all they have, please Lord hear my plea. To please make me better, and help me out of this situation, help me be strong, so I can resist temptation. I need to be a good example, so they can have a chance to have a better life, i need a different cirumstance. I want my kids to make it, i dont want them to have my struggles, you know all my battles, please take all my troubles. Please give me the strength, I need to keep going, i need to know you hear me, i cant live just unknowing. I have faith in you… I know your timing is right, Please don’t forget me, and I know ill be alright.

Suffering is hard to deal with and understand....I have found comfort in Jesus' prayer from the Cross...."My God My God why has thou forsaken me?" (and the rest of the prayer is in Psalm 22) "why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent......I hope you can find comfort in Jesus' prayer.....and welcome to Poetry Soup Damaris
