God, do you even hear my prayers?
So many seem to go unanswered.
I still feel so lost, alone unsure.
I am in need of your guidance.
I thought that I was meant to find rest in you,
a yoke that is easy and a burden that is light,
But my burden is rarely light;
More often it is so heavy I feel like I can’t go on,
And where are you then?
Where is your love and support?
I pray, I study, I try to devote my life to you,
And yet the path is so unclear.
I am lost and cannot find the way forward.
Every night I pray for direction,
And each morning I once again stumble blindly through my day.
Where are you now?
Where is your guidance and direction?
God, I need your help,
I need your direction,
I need your light!
Please God, make yourself known to me!
