God, I am trying to follow the path you set before me,
But so often along the way I meet people who create stumbling blocks,
Who try to lead me astray,
Or put me on hold because of their own indecision.
Why do you let this happen to me over and over again?!
Am I supposed to be learning something from these experiences?
Or am I simply the collateral damage of someone else not following your plan?
Do they not see the hurt they are causing?
Open their eyes!
Open their hearts!
Let them see the pain they are causing!
Show them the error in their ways!
I have seen the great works that you have done in the world,
And in my own life;
Intervene on my behalf!
Open their eyes;
Open their hearts;
Show them your greatness, O Lord!
