I Said a Prayer Today

I Said A Prayer Today….

I said a prayer today
But I didn’t know where to start
I asked the Lord to guide me, strengthen me
As well as heal my heart

From all of my worldly sins and crimes
Forgive me for being the reason my son doesn’t understand that he’s truly mine

I don’t know where I went wrong 
Or maybe I do but I’m just in denial
Is there Hope for me Oh! Lord to change my life right now

I said a prayer today
In confidentiality alone in my room
But since I chose to write it down on paper
It’s my testimony to you

Nicely written concerns of a mother for her child. I know that God heard and he does answer prayer. Keep writing. Sara
