Analysis of Distracted Prayers
The clock ticks the sound of distractions.
My mind wanders across imaginary chasms.
The Lord remains silent and I grow ever more weary.
What am I doing wrong to make this Christian life so dreary?
I dream of a time in a future garden.
Face to face, a heart no longer hardened.
