Array ( [sid] => 63039 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Prayer [time] => 2004-09-08 18:59:09 [hometext] => A prayer to God. [bodytext] => Why are you so far away, God?
I don't know if I can make it, God.
Can't make it another day, God.
I don't know if I can fake it, God.
I can't fake another smile,
Bleeding inside all the while.
I'm dying inside, do you care?
When I need you, where are you?
I know now that life isn't fair.
I want to die, what should I do?
My friends say I'm special
But I only feel stupid around them.
I've done so many bad things
I don't deserve salvation from You.
I can count on one hand my good deeds.
My sins choke my life like weeds.
I don't feel like you are there,
But I'm praying to you anyways.
I really do hope that you care.
And you'll see me through my days.
Because I can't remember what I've said.
I'm going deaf and seeing red.
My soul is in agony without respite.
But I know that only You can save it.
So my prayer is this.
That you burn away this mist,
So I can see clearly, and start to live again.
So I can be free, free from lies and sin.
This is my prayer, God. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 11 [informant] => luna_mica [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

Wow this is a humble prayer and God honors all prayer. He has already forgivien u so now forgive your self. To me that was the hardest part.
God knew how life would be for us and that's why he died so we can have forgiveness.
good work and keep the faith. When I feel this way I start jus thanking god for all things good. Once my frame of mind has changed then God really blesses.
luv, huggs, faith, hope, prayer, peace, joy,
emy

im an athiest, so here is my opinion. sometimes you cannot depend on others, even God, so you must look to yourself. if you are strong enough not to be in denial, than surely you can be strong enough to see yourself through whatever comes your way in life.

things happen because of consequence. when you make an action a hallway of doors is open from that point. you can choose any door you like, but since you chose that door, whatever is on the other side is on you, and no one else. whatever good happens, whatever bad. hopefully good, but bad things happen, thats life.

some things just have to be done on your own. you believe in God, believe in yourself as well. hope does spring eternal.
