    THE NEEDED PRAYER

    Good morning, Lord. Hello again.
    That’s how I started off my day.
    It’s been a while, this I know.
    But at least I did stopped to pray.
    Well, Lord this is my problem
    I started to continue on.

    Wait, my son, I already know.
    Why do you sing the same sad song?

    The problems are still here
    And they just won’t go away.
    My job and relationships are on the rocks
    And I’m crying everyday.
    Every time I need you
    I call on your name.
    But the outcome of the situation,
    It always remains the same.
    I pray for patience and for it all of it to cease.
    But instead of stopping
    My problems start to increase!
    Lord, I’m getting lonely and there’s no one here.
    Where are all my friends when I need them?
    I’m waiting for them to lend their ear.
    I try to do well by you and always have good faith.
    And like they say, “Trust in Him.
    And a way He will always make.

    Sounds like to me your making a mistake.
    And when was the last time you spoke to me?
    Try about a week ago, when you cried a river.
    Over something that could never be.
    Oh yeah, I heard you ask for patience
    But you get upset because you have a trial.
    You need to read your word, son, so you can understand.
    Because patience is learned from tribulations for a while.

    Nowwww I understand.
    But, Lord, I put you first in everything that I do.

    Now, are you sure about that?
    That sounds like something new.

    When I blessed you with that new job
    And you were happy for that time.
    Did you come back to church and pay your tithes?
    So I can have mine?
    When I blessed you with a mate to love.
    And I gave you someone to talk to.
    When it came to Sunday morning
    For some reason I didn’t see neither of you.
    And who is your friend that is always there
    Whenever you need to call?
    You put me to the side when things are good
    And I’m the only one that picks you up when you fall.

    Um. Lord. I…..I……I….

    I know, you want to apologize.
    My child, you’ve already been forgiven
    But please open your eyes.
    Do not put your faith in the living.
    I am the Alpha and Omega
    And no one else could ever be.
    Not Tim, Jack, Stacy or Sue.
    No one else is ever put before me.
    I created you and died for you
    Because I have loved you more than them.
    But every time you forget about that
    I take up that cross and die again.
    Don’t cry my child.
    I understand you may loose your way.
    But embrace me and love me
    And watch me bless your day.
    I have many gifts to give
    And I just want you to receive.
    When you think you’re alone, you’re not.
    All you have to do is believe.

    (Sniff, sniff) I understand now
    And my heart is open for you to walk through my door.
    I’m glad we spoke and you have given me confidence.
    But one thing……I don’t want patience anymore.
