Prayer For Mercy

by Marianne - Not entered

Dear Lord, help me to determine
what's right, and what is wrong
Provide me with valour
and the strength to go on.

Some days I'm consumed with bitterness
so much so, that it aches
Quite often I need reminding
to do whatever it takes.

But where do I begin this journey
this excursion to better my life?
Never to succumb again to desperation
or typical, daily strife?

I'm looking to you for guidance
a little push towards a start
But keep in mind...I'm new at this
Have mercy on my heart.

Reason for writing:

    None given
