How do I make it through if I am too stubborn to listen?

How do I know which path to take if I'm too lazy to ask for directions?

How do I know if I'm making the right choice if I'm not listening to godly advices?

I am ruined, I am down, I am sad and I am lost...

To whom shall I follow?


Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma... Why do I bother thinking of such problem? I am a Christian aren't I? A child of God, then why am I worrying?

In truth, it baffles me. I can be such a fool. Whatever happened to such passion, a burning desire that I once felt?  Now everything's vague. My faith, oh my faith, why does it have to be like this? I know and I am aware of my faults. But the more I try to conceal it, the more it hurts.

I need to find my way back to you, Jesus. If I stumble, I know you'll be there to help me. But what is this, a calloused heart? You tried telling me to let go but I dare not listen. Oh, how frustrating, oh how tiring! I am but a lost sheep in the woods. I see wilderness, I am in the wilderness.

Who will rescue me?

Who will fight for me?

Who will heal me?

Tears are falling, so steady and dry. My heart is failing, so stiff and so hard. I know I belong to you but help me make it through the day. Help me reach out to your welcoming arms and stay.  I know myself. I am stubborn, vain and selfish. Don't let me blunder and collapse.

Abba Father, I need you now.

Abba Father, please heal the wound.

Abba Father, help me surrender everything to your mighty name!!

Abba Father, Abba Father, my heavenly father...

I need you now in my life. Heal me, give me strength and restore my soul.

When you are silent, help me be patient and faithful.

Heavenly Father, I need you now.

Lord, I've been taught many things about prayer—be specific, be bold, be surrendered, be strong in faith, be persistent. Today I recognize my helplessness and Your power as I share my heart with you. Amen.

"Prayer is the child's helpless cry to the Father's attentive ear."
