God, Save me ((a prayer))

by StandStill   May 12, 2008


This is my tiny prayer,
and maybe I'm doing it wrong,
but this is what I know,
so sorry my prayers are short, not long

God, please show me,
people say You're as real as I am
but Lord, I've become so fake,
such a lost, tired little lamb

Father, I need to feel You,
feel Your arms around my heart
I need to know I'm never alone
not even when the world falls apart

And I want to be so strong,
be so strong just like You
show Your grace and love to all
just like the Bible tells me to

But Lord, I'm so afraid...
so scared You aren't there
i don't care how, i don't care what,
i just need You to show me You care

God, I've been told to pray,
pray very long and hard,
but Lord i only have so many words
so many pieces of my heart

Please show me a way I'm needed
show me a way that I'm not right
show me that You're here always,
especially right now, tonight

I've got so many sins to confess,
and I can't write them here,
but i hope the words I've said to You
I hope they cleanse me of this fear

Please, God, show me mercy,
for this sickening little doubt,
please forgive me for my anger
for my need to cry and shout

God, i still don't understand
how can You hate the ones that love?
i don't know how to accept
that homosexuality's considered crime above

Please, shine a little light,
so i can finally see,
these tiny little facts of life,
they don't make sense to me

And, Father, I feel alone,
so scared, so lost, so weak,
and i simply don't understand
why i can't hear the words that You speak

Please, come save me,
just like You said you would
i know I'm not good enough,
but i would be if i could

You said redemption's coming
and angels will bring in the day,
but God, i can't hear their wing beats
and that makes me so afraid

One last thing I need to say,
God, is it possible to love what i don't know?
cuz i know that i still love You with my doubts
i just need this faith to grow

Amen

    God,
    I pray to you, everyday
    whether it be in morning at school
    or at night in the darkest part of my room.

    But why is it that I can feel myself drifting away from you,
    and I can see others trying to find you again too.

    I don't understand You,
    Though I never will, I just want to be able to hold on to a piece of you, to keep as mine, as ours.

    And I try to give myself to others, but I just messing up and I jealous. And I'll just make dumb mistakes. Losing everything that I earned, that I love. And I miss them.
    God. I miss the feeling like you cared.I miss knowing that She trusted me, that I had her, that she was mine. And I was hers. But we were Yours. God. It hurst everyday to know that I hurt him so much.And now he can't even bare to hear my name. that he can't tell me whats wrong anymore.
    It hurts to see others watching me. Talking to me about, anything. I can only think about what I did wrong. I can’t remember anything good I’ve done. Just the bad.

    God, I pray for Nathan. That he would resist temptation. I know he can be smart, let him show it off. So people can see how sweet he can really be.

    God, I pray for Rachel. So people see her what she really is. Not just some weird girl who likes to share her dreams. Or whose funny questions. But to see how caring she is, and how smart she is.

    God, I pray for Alex. And that he can realize how smart he is. He hardly ever thinks of himself.

    God, I pray for Ben. God I love to see him talk about you, he describes you effortlessly. And stands up for you constantly. I don’t want anyone to take that away from him.

    God, I pray for Shawn. And that he is safe, keep him safe. I worry that he’ll get hurt.

    God I pray for Gabby. She is so funny, and sweet and smart and Gabby. And I don’t like that she feels like she is constantly falling on her face. Because of stupid things stupid people do and say.

    God, I love them all so much. They all want so much. Need so much. Hurt much. Miss so much. Love, so much.
    And I miss them.

    God, I want to be able to dance again. To lay out in the sun and soak in your glory. I want to stand in the rain with them. I want, to feel safe again.
    God. I ask a lot of you. But maybe it isn’t. Maybe I don’t deserve any of it. Perhaps you aren’t even listening. And my prayer is bouncing off the ceiling and hitting me straight in the face.

    God, can you hear me? Because I don’t think I can hear you anymore.

    Amen
