My Reason For Being Alive

You’re always there hovering in the background waiting for the invitation to accompany me on this journey, I can feel your presence but as always when things go well, You were just an afterthought a rambled prayer just before bedtime, You stayed in the background not moaning, not sulking, just waiting, waiting on the words “Help me!” And when things go wrong when I lose control when I’m not able to carry on with one word, You’re there to pick me up, to help me on this voyage, not holding a grudge not saying I told you so, always forgiving… Without You, I am nothing, without You, I have no direction, without You, I don’t know my own strength… But with you everything that seems impossible is made possible every obstacle that seems big becomes minuscule, that’s how awesome You are that’s how forgiving You are always there, always willing and able to respond to my plight, Lord, help me never to forget my reason for being alive…
