My Prayer

My Prayer I have questioned myself, people and things around me, always wanting more. But never finding the peace I seek. I looked deep inside of me and knew what I needed to do, what I need to let go. I knew it needed to start with me. Here my heart Lord, show me the way, speak to me what is true. I feel as if I can't breathe, that the world is weighing down heavy on me Hold me, Lord shows me the way. Until I can breathe again. I am waiting in a silent prayer Lord, I am troubled by the heavyweight I carry in a world that is so uncertain, full of suffering and despair. Must I go this path alone? Where are you, in my hour of sadness? I humble myself before you now. What would you have me do? I cherish my family so; I feel so helpless Let me wake from this nightmare, and let them be whole again. No more suffering, to be of sound mind. I humble myself before you now. Lord, I give them to you. Lift me up to where you are. Here my heart Lord, set me free of the depression that holds on to me. Hear me, Lord. I'm not strong enough to fight. Take away the pain I need you, Lord, give me strength. Hear me, Lord, show me the way
