A prayer for strength amidst insurmountable odds.

Lord, please come to my aid,
I am bleeding to death.
I feel the hordes of Hell let loose
All, but only to torment me.
I feel so alone and forlorn,
Amidst, all things pulling me down.
My pains seem so unbearable
That grows more and more every day.
The agony that encompasses me
Pierces through the marrow of my bones.

I am so weak O my Lord,
To put up even a little more fight.
With my spirit groping for strength,
I feel I can no longer go on.

I have lost everything I value most,
Even the very least I thought I have.
And at this very moment O God,
There seem to be no reason anymore
For me, to continue my Earthly journey.
As I rise in the morning, I ask myself
If there’s anything more left to me,
Even a grain perhaps of meaning
For which I may still cling to.
For what else do I still have really?
Dignity, Honor or integrity?
They are all gone..
The least I thought can be taken from me.

Come to my succor my God,
For I have no one now,
I beg you..
Please do not abandon me.

Forgive my inequities, my Creator.
And help me rise again.
Help me bear the wounds all around me,
And soothe them with the balm of your love.
Remake me anew my Lord,
Let me feel your warm embrace once more.
Put together the broken pieces of my soul,
And remold them to a new form.

You had taught me to live in the hard way,
You allowed these things to come to me,
Then strengthen me..

I firmly believe you will not forsake me,
For my faith, no matter how small, teaches me so
But with bitter tears and heavy suffering
I raise but one question for you;
Why does it have to be this way for me?
Why… my Lord?

Teach me to comprehend,
Whatever message you want to convey.
Give me at least a flicker of understanding,
So that I may believe again..
That somehow, all these things,
No matter how bleak, will be abated.

Come now my Lord, have mercy
