No Fancy Words  10/29/2018

My bank account and wallet are empty

my fridge is nearly empty

It’s been like this for a couple

of weeks, before I get paid.

Help me to lean on You

to trust you; know you’re there 

during these recurring difficulties

I often feel alone and ugly

quite depressed; these challenges defeat me

Lord, let me know you’re there

and that I can talk to you any time, in any way

I have chronic pain, and my activities

are often limited, so I spend 

more time in bed than I feel 

comfortable with

Christ Jesus, heal me, lift me up, 

letting me know that I can do more 

than I think I can

I have so many creative gifts

from you, but I’m often too

down in the dumps to use

them, even knowing they 

will alter my mood

Change my heart and spirit

Father God; give me

the push I need 

to fly out of this nest

I’m tired of living like this,

Lord, be my helper; that

the Holy Spirit will infect me

with strength; that it will

guide me

This is my plea Christ Jesus

Be there for me. Help.
