Lord, I need you. What else can I say?
I need you more then I did yesterday.
Life is not what I thought it would be. Somehow it feels like it’s turned against me.

Lord your the only place that feels like home. Everything else makes me feel like I’m alone. Only when I spend time with you I feel I’m being listened to. Even when you don’t answer me. Silent nights. Warm tears on my cheeks. I know you hold me closely.

Waiting on your breakthroughs to come. Pacing through life is what I want to overcome. Feeling loss at what I can’t control anymore. Lord, how much more?

Feeling like I want to be free. Buried by life. Tired of fighting for things that feel far from me. Lord I know you know what’s best for me. But my soul is exhausted, don’t you see?

Going through this is hard enough. Nothing is promised. Give me strength to overcome. Praying for miracles to shine through. Beauty for ashes. Peace. Joy. Comfort too. But Lord don’t forget I need you.
