My Weakness

GOD Wondrous of many blessings. Smiling never a frown. My prayers, Lord, are suddenly being ignored. I've taken a tumble of fallen down Lord, my life was plain and simple How did it come to this? Lord, now I carry a burden so deep A torn up life not easy to fix Hard to get my prayers before I sleep Bleeding only internally! Feeling very minutely! God, have you deserted me or is it me who deserted you? God, my Lord, my savior, how could you abandon me? Must I drown in my own sorrow? Must I wake up like this today and tomorrow. Why have you left me, or is it me who left you? God, I need you like never before. When I wake up, When I head out the door. Tormented in a mood ring of stock Heavily my tears hit the floor. God, do you not feel me, or is it me who no longer feel you? God, what is your plan for me? What things did I not see? I asked for you to forgive me in my ways of sin. Why do you let him provoke me? Lord, I forbid for him to win. Relieve me from his gutless pain. God, do you not believe me, or is it me who no longer believe in you? God, do you not hear my call My pitiful excuses make me weak and small In your eyes, I no longer feel tall I remain cursed in every single fall Lord, only you can break this wall Do you not see me on my knees Must I beg and crawl? I am at your mercy, crying out with grief Open the path to the lighted hall O' Lord, the day you judge me before your throne Please tell me it was a lesson for me to stand up on my own God for now I will end this talk With the dignity to never look back I ask if you were there on my endless journey of a relentless walk?

Though you ask many questions, you write clearly and we can follow easily your trend of thought. Often we already know the answers to our questions, but we keep looking for reassurance. Love your sincerity in these words. Don't we all have doubts and faults?:) hugs // paul

I love the beauty of your initial self doubt - so much strength is required for this degree of honest reflection Linda - you honor Deity with your unpretentious considerations and artwork - the last three thoughts in the first stanza are painfully delicious! In revering Deity you have reverence for yourself my Sphinx - masterful honesty,with respect, J.A.B.

God is there everyday making us in the fire. it makes us strong when we hold on and believe that He is there. for He is. stop murmering and finish what God started. or you'll be in the wilderness for a long time.

it's talks like these that get's his attention. i've been where you are and i prayed that very same prayer. but what it got me was God showing me where he was in everything that has happened in my life. He even explained April to me in away that i understood. i still cried but i understood. john

I love this piece P.D. Everyone struggles with faith and religion, and I just stopped believing. Long story, but I love that you write so openly about the times you feel neglected even by "God" and question who is the wrong, or what is the reason. I respect Christians who think! and hope on to faith but not because they accede. Love IT!!!! Oh, and I was hoping you could read and comment on my Angel (AKJ) or the Family piece. They need love lol and you always know what to say

A beautiful Poem from your crafted pen. Great lamentation for the light of God. But often pains and sufferings are given to us, so that we may come out from these difficulties with more strengths and courage. In every faith it is given to us to test our courage, patience and devotion. You have very beautifully expressed your words. Great poem showing the inner depths of your mind and heart. Love and best wishes….Ravindra…. Poet D

been there and done that? just remember that the darkest hour is just before dawn, so keep slaying satans spawn.a new always rises for God's children of light.but for the devils doomed it's just another day in the hood
