A Runaway’s Prayer
My thoughts are blurred and my feelings confused,
I know what I have done in the past and I am sorry too.
I would love to go back to the way things used to be,
But that’s not reality and it’s time to open my eyes and really see.
The choice is up to me to change the way I live,
But my request for forgiveness must be sincere in order for HIM to forgive.
When I am out on the streets I don’t think of HIM much,
But I know deep down that I need his healing touch.
I call HIM GOD, this LORD of mine,
I do love and respect him some of the time.
But most times I don’t listen to him, I just block his words out,
Not realizing those times are when I need him the most without a doubt.
I know I have been selfish these past few years,
And his help is only asked for when I am down and in tears,
Or when I want or need something too,
But that isn’t right and I know I should start something new.
I want to feel like a Christian again and finally really believe,
And if HE will have me, then Jesus Christ I want to receive.
So I pray, “Lord please help me do the right thing!”
I want to put my faith in you again for you are my King.
The problems in my life have cut me like a knife,
But I trust that someday I will have Eternal Life.
All I have to do is believe in you,
And ask you into my heart honestly and true.
So I ask you dear God, “Will you come into my heart?
And never forsake me or ever from me would you part?”
“I love you God and from now on I always will!”
Even through all of life’s crazy unexpected ills.
I will close the subject with one final phrase,
“Thank you God for saving me! And please stay with me through life’s confusing and unexpected maze.”
