Dear Lord

I come to you Dear Lord for strength and for peace,
I ask that you be near me when it is black and bleak.
They say with you all things are possible and from you all blessings flow,
My heart knows it's true but sometimes I get things get real low.
Lately I've been discouraged left with frustration,
My mind has so much going through it there's nothing left but depression.
My heart cries for you Lord to guide me and help me through,
There's so many unanswered questions that leave me feeling blue.
I believe sometime this uneasy feeling will one day pass,
Giving me back that joy I found when I was on a straighter path.
