Prayer

O Great Father, your child is
Caught in the world of Evil.
Passion, woe and despair.
Long ruled by the Devil
Owing to ignorance
Deviated from the right path.
O!Mercy!Help!Redeem !
Show me your bright path.
No more !I pray thee
Keep me out of the dark night.
O God! harken my prayer
Guide through your bright Light.

May God answer your prayer and many alike! I know many can relate, for sometimes it feels like this world can swallow us in an abyss of darkness and we feel almost helpless, flailing our arms to the sky for someone to pull us out and lead us to light. With your hope and faith, I'm positive that you will live to see brighter days. Lovely write.
