Silent Prayer

I am waiting in a silent prayer 
Lord, I am troubled by the heavyweight I carry
in a world that is so uncertain, full of suffering and despair 
must I go this pass alone? 

Where are you, in my hour of sadness?
I humble myself before you now.
What would you have me do?

I cherish my family so; I feel so helpless
Let me wake from this nightmare,
and let them be whole again.

No more suffering, to be of sound mind. 
I humble myself before you now.
Lord, I give them to you.
