My Soul Prays

Oh LORD help me
For fear has held me captive
At this moment I can’t see you for fear has blinded me
Help me LORD lest I perish
I am overwhelmed by the troubles of life
Topsy-turvy is the description of my life
But I look unto the hills from whence cometh my help
Do not be silent any more my GOD
For my faith is being tested 
I have waited on you to come to my rescue
I have had several sleepless nights tossing and turning in bed
Sometimes I am drenched in my tears 
Wondering when you will come to my rescue 
Evil men mock me some others rejoice at my seeming down fall
What a tragedy
Arise oh LORD and let my enemies be scattered
For I know your plans for me are plans of good and not evil
Yes! the vision is for an appointed time though it may tarry
LORD I bow before you, in thanksgiving and praise of your holy name
Surrendering to your sovereignty and ruler-ship over the life of your children
For who can decree a thing when you oh LORD has not spoken
I await that day when my salvation shall come
I wipe my tears and I encourage myself in the LORD 
Knowing fully well you JEHOVAH will never fail or forsake me
Yes my salvation is here
For I know my redeemer liveth 
Thank you LORD.

This is a beautiful poem and prayer straight from your heart Felix. Know that God give his toughest battles to His strongest soldiers and that He will never forsake you for God promise us and u mentioned it in your poem too; "For I know the plans i have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope for the future". Stay strong and trust in God always. Warm regards "B"
