Without You

a prayer

Lord,

What would I do without you?

What would I do without you in my life?

I don't know how to start

To mend the pieces of my broken heart

Or to rebuild my broken life.

The  man I thought you had for me

Was not the man he claimed to be

His love for me was just a disguise

Harboured in a sack of ferocious lies

Why is it he calls me the liar?

The so-called 'lies' he holds against me

Haven't anything to do with him

He uses them as an excuse

To leave me hanging out on a limb.

How can a God so kind and faithful,

Merciful, just and true

Give what I need from life to him

And leave me desolate without a clue?

It's obvious that he hasn't changed

What is the fairness in it all?

He'll just repeat the same thing with her

And leave her feeling small.

It's hard to believe this whole thing

It's like he's not the same man

I go over and over it in my head

To make sense of it, if I can.

Then you lovingly tell me

Why it's important to let him go

Letting go is an act of forgiveness

And I release him 'cos you say so. 

Author's Note

This is my prayer to God this morning in verse over breakfast. It's free verse; nothing special, just from my heart. It's therapeutic for me to write about the things that trouble me.

Thank you so much. Without my faith, I would be lost! I struggle with faith every day. It's easy to get one's sights on the circumstances around them instead of focusing on God's promises.

Hey, thanks again for your sweet words.
