There were moments when I couldn’t pray Days when I just went my own way I let God down… didn’t give Him esteem The respect that He should have had When I realized He was my Father, my Dad The One who gave my heart it’s chance To be filled with love, hope and assurance Faith that would light up the stars and moon With the promise that lives inside of me There were times when I couldn’t feel grace Instances when I wasn’t sure of anything at all I let God take my hand and lead me through The valleys, across the hills, through the pastures Where I yearned to find my way toward inspiration The light that flowed down to me from above Where God answered the prayers I prayed With unconditional love – kindness that breathed Answers to all the prayers I might have pleaded There were days when I couldn’t find the light The hue of brilliant hope that lit up my thoughts With gentle feelings of wonder, creativeness Warmth that comes from knowing grace lives Within the one who listens to the spirit of His love Whispering to the heart about compassionate Consideration, giving, exhilaration that comes Alive when the dance of love gives back those Joys on the inside, joys from knowing God’s light There have been good times and bad times Happy times and sad times, grace and grief Joy and peace, everything I’ve believed, somedays Has been questioned and suspected, mistrusted By the very ones I believed to care the most Still, that still small voice has murmured to me Through the noise that comes from confusion Instructing me to abide in Him, listen to His voice The sensation that comes from knowing Grace Faith in His love – the gift that comes from above! In Him, I found myself – the child who listens To the whisper of His gentle voice – His breath Against my naked heart, where I can always know Faith that leaves no question to doubt, no worry To cloud my judgement or discredit my knowing God is everywhere, everything, the answer to every need! God is my hope, my faith, my grace – the light that guides Me through the storms of life – the light of my very soul! In Him, I can always know – I have all that I will ever need To go through life and reach heaven someday, some way With the soul that He gave me to guide me toward home God is my very best friend! With Him leading, I know The way – and I will always pray to stay in His grace

There are people who suffer from the darkness of the soul. The more you try the bigger the apathy. Only one solution. Keep praying no matter how. ~~
