Dear God: THE FUCK


Jeremiah 29:11

" 'For I know I have plans for you'

-Declares the lord-

'plans to prosper you

and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope

and a future.' "

The Lord hath deemed me worthy-

worthy of the gift that is life

so that I may fulfill some

divine and righteous purpose

a purpose I do not understand

James 1:5

" If any of you lacks wisdom,

you should ask God,

who gives generously to all

without finding fault,

and it will be given to you."

I have been shown the way

I have been taught to pray

I have asked you, Lord,

for that which you give

and still, I find myself

In the darkness

There is no lamp unto my feet

There is no light unto my path
