Lord, you are my strength,
My anchor in a sea of despair.
When I am drowning and fear
there is no one to help me,
I hear your voice telling me to hold on.

You are the first person I talk to when I wake
and the last, at the end of the day.
You are my family, and as such,
you forgive my temporary lapse of faith
when I lash out at you, when things go awry.

When I am in pain, I remember your suffering
on the cross and I am humbled.
I do not presume to understand why things happen
the way they do, I only trust that in your wisdom, There is a reason.

You are hope, you are salvation, you are love.
You gave your life for us so that we might be saved
and someday, I hope to meet you face to face,
to thank you for this sacrifice
and show you...you did not die in vain.

A sincere prayer of reverence, weakness and love.  It was a pleasure to read.
