Prayer

"But I believe that the desire to please
you does in fact please you.
And I hope that I have that desire in all
that I am doing.
And I know that if I do this, you
will lead me by the right road
though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore will I trust you always
though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death, I will
not fear, for you are ever with me
and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone."


This isn't of my own words

But it describes exactly how I feel, or rather, how I used to feel. Now it's just a theory to me, that could or could not be true..

My own prayer will go like this..

Dear God,

I am clueless
So absolutely clueless it makes me depressed
Help me remember who you are
for it's the only fact that wakes me up
remind me that the desire to please you, really does please you
for everyone around me seems to think otherwise
and although I claim I'm strong, I end up going with the herd
and I admit
this time I resort to you, because I have no one else to go to, and because of that alone

I cannot forgive my constant estrangement to the world
I cannot forgive you for letting it be, like you forgive my presumptuousness
But I'm trying
I admit I'm not strong enough for it, so help me
I pray expecting you to do all the work, now this time I'm sincerely intending to change with my own hands


I love you God,
Me

I'm so beautiful today
