Desperate Prayer (6/2010)

Dear Lord,

Please give me the strength
To make it through today.
I can’t do it myself;
You’re the only way.

Fill me with compassion,
Fill me with love.
Fill me with all the things
That come only from Above.

Give me patience and strength
To get me up this slope.
I can’t do this alone:
You’re my only hope.

Help me rely on you,
And depend on you more and more.
On my own, it seems like
I’m 1000 miles from shore.

Though at times it seems
An impossible hill to climb,
I know you’re with me
During any troubling time.

Amen.
