God, I don't know if I'm not asking the right questions, or if I'm not listening to the answers, - or if the answers are slow in coming, - or if they're not coming at all and that itself is the answer. But I call on this body to pray for my soul, which is in distress even edging toward the life of my heart. This to me is everything I have to give to You, and so it is close to the center in my life, and I ask for a quick and understandable answer to my question about my life.
Lord Jesus, I ask in You holy name knowing full well that I am a sinner for forgiveness of my sins. I ask that You hear my prayer in its purest form, and not the way that my words might imperfectly put it out.
God, I need a sign from You in music. I am wandering in a desert here, Lord, and I am going without sustaining water, and I am grasping onto the horizon hoping for the land You promised me, but my strength is failing for lack of any end in sight, and I feel my heart dying and my soul closing its mouth. I have tried and tried and tried, even most of my life, to create beautiful music - and to have people be touched by what I wrote, for it to change somebody's life somewhere, to make a single day easier, to reach out and have an effect. Originally, when I first started to write when I was young, I wrote without guidance in my heart and after my own ways, but since then I felt You reach into my life and You drew me to write songs about things that mattered to me regarding You, and regarding how I see You in my life, and all kinds of things regarding my love for the Spirit of all truth.
God, I am a man who has been tilling this land for years, and nothing has come up, and the few sprouts I have seen I have brought into Your temple, knowing I am not worthy to give the gift, and I have not taken for myself, but have let my mouth starve because I know that without Your prosperity in me, it is better I should have none.
Men have walked on me, saying that I am weak, and they daily lay traps for me and take advantage of me, - but because I know that I am not a perfect man myself in how I treat others, I swallow my pride, and I forgive them in my ways and love them in my heart. God Jesus, I have been walking many years searching for the light, and have heard its voice in my heart, but my eyes have failed to see it though its promise is everywhere. I struggle to find hope.
I know that You know my heart, and the whole story of my life, everything it could and will be, great or insignificant. But Lord Jesus Christ, with whatever will is left in me hear my prayer when I ask that it not be meaningless. That might life have a good purpose on earth, a meaningful one, and one that will live on because it is a part of You. If I could see that dawn of light in my life, Lord I would have tasted true and lasting happiness even forever, and everything that is good in me would grow strong.
I love You God. Very much, and I try to love You with my whole soul, my whole heart, and my whole mind. I ask that You hear my prayer in Christ's name, in the body of Christ given to me for forgiveness from sin. I lay hold onto His promise in Your name, and I ask that You fulfill Your words when You said I would not be made ashamed for doing so. Amen.
