my prayer

Mon, 07/29/2013 - 02:50 -- BDA

God has given man many sacred gifts,

among the most valuable is agencie & prayer.

He has trustingly given us the right to choose,

& lovingly given us a line of communication with him.

every prayer is different,

however, many are the same, if not similar.

i pray not as you pray.

while people ask,

“ why has thou forsaken me?” or “why has thou abandoned me?”,

i ask with a heavy heart,

why hasn’t thou forsaken me? or why hasn’t thou abandoned me?

so many in very bad health ask for life,

i in excelente health ask for death.

many ask for comfort, while ask for pain.

many thank happily for what they have, yet ask for more,

but i sadly thank for all i have & don't deserve,

so i beg for it to be taken away.

i guess you could say my prayer is of a low & somewhat of a depressing heart.

so why are they not,yet at the same time are mysteriously & confusingly answered?

because maybe . . . just maybe … there's more to my words,

he listens not to my words but to my heart.

maybe i have potential after all,

all i need to do is learn where to start.
yes my friends, the true prayers come from the heart.
