At present


The difficulty in standing here
is the truth of my thoughtless ways
I must exhaust the essence of grace
and yet, I know that he still prays
It is by pride that I am led
and generally, by pride that I am fed
but I know now
that it is this which rules
the sad and selfish lives of fools

Such sighing hurts my God
he cries as my unbelief spreads
for his spirit knit my reason
and shifting doubt pulls vital threads
My stupid words
from an empty head
tired regrets, its all been said
nothing lasts, but a desperate prayer
a deep need to escape from fear

I’m crawling towards a quiet God
a humble, forgiving place
to rid the humanness
and then, to cool my burning face

Indeed, Pride cometh cheap, lesley.,,and it's not only God we hurt with our pride, but ourselves. I don not think God is quiet however, those who have there ears turned toward Him I believe can hear Him load and clear. If you keep moving towards Him, you will to.

Excellent! Sounds sad and lonely though. We all lose place but can't exhaust His Grace!
For He is merciful and loving!
