When I was lost

Dear God, I have drifted from you and i know.
I don't feel You in me like i used to.
Its scary to think i can let you go
The countless trials you've led me through.
Now im facing this and sin's pushed me.
Farther from your presence and it hurts.
I need you in me, i need You to be free.
I need your strength to fight these thoughts.
I need your peace, i need your grace. I need you most.
I need you to take all of me, give me all of you too.
Dispel the darkness in and around me with your light.
I doubt many things now, come and show me the truth.
Show me what I need to do, to stop feeling so empty inside.
Take away my fears, help me to be strong.
Let me smile and be truly happy once more.
I want you to remove in me all that is wrong.
All that hurts me, before i can't take any more.

I think may people have this feeling from time to time. When you feel this way, I think it is best to remember how it felt, when God was there with you, and seek to feel the same again. Your poem is full of anguish and you express your emotions very well. 'May the road rise up to greet you', (a Celtic blessing)

Thank you so much. I usually write things like this when i feel overwhelmed. I really appreciate the advice and blessing.

Writing can sometimes be very 'therapeutic'. keep on writing, I will drop by again.

I love it. I've felt that soo many times, and I know God hears this prayer. He is faithful and just to forgive us.

I think a lot of people feel this way. I was just expressing my own feelings as a way to cope.

[Lily Calico]

I do the same. Using art to turn your personal mess into something beautifully broken.

This has often been my cry. Then He fills me with His love. He never leaves you, child of God.
