Prayer of Despair

Dear God,

It's me again. Seems like you're my only friend. I am lost, Dear Lord, in a desert of despair, and I know you're the only one that really cares. Life is closing in on me, and you're the only one at the end of the tunnel that I see. I feel like my family isn't there, they've all got too many of their own problems to care. I look in my heart for the ties that once bound us tight, but they're nowhere within sight.

So, you see, Dearest Lord, I need you to walk with me, hold my hand and set me free. I don't want to feel like ending my life, but I really can't handle all this strife. If, you think you could carry me through it all, I won't go and make that call. I just don't know what to do, all I know is I need you. You're the rock I lean upon, you're the one I am always calling on. I know I am a burden, Lord, but your grace is what I am striving for. So, if you could carry me or hold my hand, just maybe I'll make it through these sands.

Thank you, Lord, for being a friend and and always listening to me. Thank you, Lord, for making me feel better and taking my burdens and setting me free.

Amen
