Oh God please take this from me.

Oh God please take this from me.

Oh God… please take this awful depression from me,
Let me feel the feelings I long for to be free,
Cleanse me, wash me, and set me free,
From this awful torment I have day in… day out,
Let me see what others see in me,
I plead with you dear God to please listen,
Feel the inner suffering I have,
Tears falling down my face each day,
I pray and pray to you dear God for help,
To take this pain from me yet still I weep,
How sad it is to have these feelings of despair,
When all I crave is inner peace,
Almost 11 years is an awful long time to battle,
With such a crippling illness…
To find that inner bliss I used to have,
Please, please answer my prayers,
Let me know you care,
To have this for the rest of my life,
Is really unbearable,
So I plea with you again,
To cleanse me, wash me and please set me free.

Namaste Selfexpressive.

    That is such a sad poem. It is hard waiting on the hand of God to intervene in our lives, but thankfully God instills in all of us, anything we will ever need. If we need love, strength, guidance, hope, happiness, it is already given to us. We all ask for things we need but can't see what we received and it is depressing. Sometimes the best thing to do is to walk in the things you want to receive, give love, forgiveness, strength to those you surround yourself with and you will begin to realize you had it all along. Though it doesn't hurt to pray for the same thing over and over again. God looks out for us and gives his children what their heart longs for. Knock continually and eventually the door will be opened, maybe not because they care about you but because of your persistance. Thankfully God cares for all of us. If we pray, there will always be a break through in the end.
