A Prodigal’s Lament #Poetry #Inspirational #ChristianLife

My mind’s in a fog

Bogged down as I

Slog through cement

Unable to break free

My life’s in debris

Unsure of what I’m fleeing from

I send up pleas

As I sink to the abyss

Please don’t dismiss me!

It isn’t bliss I’m searching for,

No, I’m missing Your counsel

Lord, forgive this rebellious child

My behavior, mild it’s definitely not!

The path I’ve trodden, wild with defiance

My alliance with the world

Filled me with your silence,

I’m alone, I’m alone!

I’m reaping what I’ve sown

I fear that I’ve blown it

Oh, my groaning soul!

Without You, my life has been

Like tears in the rain

Tears in the rain!

All my earthly gains

In vain, with no eternal value

Left me in pain and utter loneliness!

Down on my knees, I beg for forgiveness.

Accept my repentance

Pull me back into Your loving Presence!
