Prayer To God

Hey God, can I talk to you?

I'm not doing very well down here.

I know you have a plan for me,

And I should not feel any fear,

But I do wish you'd let me know what it is,

That might help me get through.

My body causes me so much pain,

And I don't understand why.

The doctors don't seem to have a clue,

And they say there is nothing they can do.

I know you are the great healer God,

And everything happens in your time,

But it would be nice if you would let me in on your plans, too.

My chest hurts, and my lungs are full.

They make a lot of noise when I breathe,

And my oxygen is often low.

You are the breath of life, God,

And I'm trying so hard to breathe you in.

It's so beautiful here in the mountains you made,

I feel close to you when I'm at the top and the sun starts to fade.

Maybe you can teach me to feel close to you at the bottom, too.

You have blessed my life in so many ways.

I know I should never doubt you on so many days.

I praise you, God,

I've seen your miracles firsthand.

I know nothing happens without you.

You hold the world in your hand.

I know you are always at my side,

I know it was for me that your son died.

I'm going to put all my worries at your feet, God,

I'm going to trust in you.

I'm going to walk through life without fear God,

Because I know you keep me near,

And when I lose my way,

I know you'll be there to guide me through.

Help me to be a light for you each day in this often dark world.

I love you, and I thank you for loving me, too.

Amen
