My Soul Cries Fiery Tears

Folder: 
Religion

My desire to give me

to you

in truth

I've try to elude

for so long

my strength fails

to be strong

and my intentions

are consistently wrong

my sinn'n

has been bend'n

in ways

that keep Satan grinn'n

for days

I try

to fight

eyes on the prize

look'n to the sky

for Your supply

I'll admit

my attempts

are feeble at best

I know my grades show

many failed test

But the desires of my flesh

are so...

so...

so...

desirable

terrible on the inside

is how I feel

but when my mini-me rises

it feels so real

and so many women have such

an appeal

that my devilish ways

are hard to conceal

my soul is in danger of crashing

and burning

I'm looking to you to help me to

start turning

& learning

to sit

to kneel

to lay

in different ways

challenging myself to pray

to keep You at the forefront

of my mind

but I feel like I am blind

and looking at a clock with

no time

Help me Lord I am begging You

if You hear this prayer, please

start me a new

you are not as far away as you think. the one who does not know he is lost is truly lost. the one who knows is looking for the way home. you have sent out the emergency signal, help is on the way. . . actually is with you right there . . ."our God is a very present help in the time of trouble" and "He is as close as the mention of His name". As I said before, this poem is a landmark on the journey home for you, and the others that will read it.

This was honest and raw, and I know it came from the heart. You're making the right steps...prayer opens plenty of doors, I just found that out myself. I really enjoyed reading, thanks for sharing this with me.

You have written the prayer for the masses. The phrasing, the flow = perfection. The feel of utter desperation along with confession - on point. This could very well be written on a poster and placed in bedrooms around the world (and it probably should be) Thank you sooooo much for allowing me to read your words. Keep doing what you do!!!!!
