Pray

At times I am lost
In an endless maze of thought
Or buried under problems
Suffocating deep.
There have been times
When darkness has prevailed
And there is not even a sign
Of a single ray of light
There have been death threatening illnesses,
Doubts, depression, hopelessness and strife.
If life is such an up hill battle, I have wondered.
Why in god’s name. Am I alive?
I am confused, I am lost
I am ignorant and distraught
But one thing I am sure about
My hands join and I pray to you
You see in me, what others fail to
You have shown me the light
Pointed the right way
Gave me an umbrella, on a rainy day
Made a rainbow appear
On a pitch dark night
I think I must be doing something right
