For many years I cried and thought, why did God abandon me
I have read my Bible faithfully and prayed on bended knee

I am writing this to You to request a transfer to a desk job. I herewith present my reasons:

I began my career as a private, because of the intensity of the battle You have quickly moved me up in the ranks.

Dear Lord change not Thy will in my life,
Or trial and sorrows to be;
Renew my faith and make me strong,
Change not Thy will, change me.

Be with me, God, when I’m happy
And all of my skies are blue;
Don’t let me take life for granted
But for ever be thankful to You.

I got down on my knees,
And said a prayer for you today.
I asked for God to bless you,
And next to you he’d stay.

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts…
God knows how hard you have tried.

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It’s a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

It’s quiet. It’s early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The
world is still asleep. The day is coming. In a few moments the day will
arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.

Anywhere is a place of prayer, if God is there…

I have prayed in the morning light,
I have prayed all alone,
I have prayed in the silence of the darkness,
and I have prayed to the tune of a lark’s song.
