My God

The way I came to you was difficult. I was searching for years, which seemed like lifetimes. I received revelations and brief moments of Clarity (I had epiphanies so powerful that I felt overwhelmed Felt godlike myself Ego took hold subverted good intentions into human power struggles Self-love, and unhealthy pride I was locked-up in chains Searching in vein for a sharp tool... I used to beg desperately for help But you responded in riddles Forcing me to think about what I was unable to (I am so far beneath your Majesty)... I gave up control, (which was a powerful illusion) Released my Regrets through your son Jesus Christ, and sincerely asked your forgiveness for injustices I inflicted upon others and myself Acknowledging you as All-knowing, All-powerful I began to pray... Asking for guidance everyday Strength to overcome difficulties Power to control myself Inspiration to feed creativity Trust to love freely Humility to accept what I cannot change Patience to wait for answers & Redemption Compassion for the sufferings of others So many Requests... But you are Eternally Patient Finally, a sense of peace began to awaken in me, through prayer and effort and your guidance I became whole. You Created Mysteries far beyond my comprehension I can only ponder your All-encompassing Wisdom Vast... You are everywhere and everything and everyone all at once Now... I feel deep in my Soul your Power Grace and Love No words can describe my Awe and Love for you God Beyond any name or symbol or style Your Majesty can never be Defined Humbly I Thank You
