Prayer of Please

please
send me the things I need
speed
could I have the faith of Job
cloak me in this robe
I need your amazing grace
as I stand in empty space
I am weak I am so torn
hanging on threads worn
dangling by such thin rope
help me keep my faith
for I have lost my hope

How I love this poem. It sounded so frustrated but hi, dear lady, you just got a Big A

Yes, we need pray when we feel that we lost hope.

That was an extremely powerful prayer! ~ and you conveyed a sense of desperation and helplessness, very well!

I believe that a knot will soon appear at the end of that rope, followed by a ladder to get you back up where you rightfully belong.
