Prayer for the Desperate

by Tamar SC · September 15, 2017

“O Lord”

O Lord save me from my own abuse
O Lord help me to see the truth
I’ve been blind for so many years, O Lord
O Lord help me be a better man
O Lord please help me to understand
Why we all must hurt like this, O Lord

Hard to keep the faith while falling
Hard to see your face while crawling
Hard to keep the faith while falling down
With no one around….

O Lord help me to control my rage
O Lord tell me it’s not too late
I’ve been angry for way too long, O Lord
O God help me get my head on straight
O God take all this booze away
I’ve been locked in a drunken haze O Lord

Hard to keep the faith while falling
Hard to see your face while crawling
Hard to keep the faith while falling down
With no one around

Doing this alone is not working out
Booze and broken bones are keeping me down
I need some direction, I need it right now
Falling now, Falling down

Hard to keep the faith while falling
Hard to see your face while crawling
Hard to keep the faith while falling down
With no one around

This prayer is actually a song by Smile Empty Soul. It is written by Sean Danielsen and describes the struggles of a person who is drowning in worldly entanglements while trying to keep his faith alive. He is calling out to God for help.
