Free Verse Prayer

God is always there
He answers our every prayer
When you do not know even where to start,
He knows what is in your breaking heart.


Frustrations may seem to abound,
From every direction, all around.
But God is so much stronger than these,
You need only fall to your knees.


My friends are hurting everywhere,
Some so close to giving in to despair.
I know that You hear their desperate cries,
Feel the pain held in their eyes.


This poem today is for their pain,
Cleanse their wounds with soothing rain.
Lord please answer this, my prayer,
Help them feel that you are there.


In the last few days I have heard of so many friends both here and at home who are going through some very real and very severe struggles and my heart has been burdened to pray for them. Sometimes I have no idea what I can do or say to help ease their burden, but God knows. I tried my hand at a little free verse poetry above because I needed a way to release some of this sadness.
