My Lament

Writings based on my scribbled thoughts during a work morning prayer ‘exercise’.

I address God Dear Father Our Lord and king You’re forever Kind and loving Always patient So powerful So glorious And wonderful

I make my complaints Lord I have fear Lord I am scared Often worried And sometimes bored I’m frustrated I’m struggling Yes, struggling I’m struggling

Inability Adds to my fear I don’t seem to Get anywhere I am stuck, can’t Express myself I can’t explain Nor can I move

I express my trust in God But our God is The great I am Before the world God was and is And because God Is, then I can…

I make my appeal Please help me to Understand You Give me purpose What I should do So that I can See the meaning!

I promise Him praise I must praise You And in my need Draw me to you So I can feed

And fin’lly Lord Help me to stop To wait on You Dwell in Your Word
