Bowing my head
I say a silent prayer
I try to sound okay
I don't want it to sound bare

I raise my eyes to
the heavens and to my God
It seems lately
I've had to do this a lot

"God" I say quietly
You know why I'm on my knees
You know the trouble in my heart
Lord, I'm begging you, help me please

I've only been using
my own weak strength;
Without you God,
I've gone such a great length.

So now i'm handing it to you,
My heartaches and fears
God help me, be with me,
Catch all my falling tears

Lately, I've been so vulnerable
So please lift this burden of mine
Use me in a positive way
Let my light so shine

I know you're always with me
here to guide and use me
So mold me and make me Lord
To what you'd have me to be

God I will forever love you
Thanks for being my best friend
I say this all in Jesus name
And with that i say Amen

Beautifully pieced together. You did a great job on this and I'm the first one to post on this.. To some this may be controversal but I love the Lord and this made me smile deep down. Great job..

Aww... I loved this because I do this also, well, that part where you go so long by yourself without the Lord. I also pray, but that one part I can relate well too...

I think this is one of my favorites by you, I loved the subject, the way you put it together in this form. Almost like a story, but a prayer also. It was amazing...

Thanks for sharing this one

This is a stunning poem. I particuarly liked the following lines as i find them very meaningful in my life at the moment:

So now i'm handing it to you,
My heartaches and fears
God help me, be with me,
Catch all my falling tears

Lately, I've been so vulnerable
So please lift this burden of mine
Use me in a positive way
Let my light so shine

I'm new to the site and it is clear that you are a fantastic writer. I can't wait to read more of your poems.

God Bless
