Analysis of Dear Lord
I was cast in a valley which seems bottomless for unjustifiable reasons; yet I am looking up to you for a rescue
My heart tremble, as I experienced the toughest depression;
I am guzzled by fear and still wondering if my problems aren't bigger than thee.
Bored with prayers without answers, I am starting to believe that you're not interested in solving my problems any longer.
Yet, a crazy voice from in is mandating me not to give up.
I have used ⅘ calories of my body; must I struggle this long?
Nocuous dreams have eaten up my sleep leaving me stare sleeplessly at my innocent doors and windows at night.
I wish I had your phone number, I could have called you; it's urgent.
"Pick up, I am fading out" I could cry.
Even so, I was told u are watching from a far unknown territory.
Whatever the case might be, remember I need you the most now; fix me, and lead me in your path.
Even though I am broken down into the smallest atoms of my body; yet still I am of the opinion that you can still toggle me.
Aren't you the God of the Universe?
Aren't you the same God who rescued Daniel from the Den of angry and hungry lions?
Weren't it you who safeguarded Joseph from his cruel and inhumane brothers?
For how long will you ignore my calls?
If my prayers aren't reaching you, kindly text me your WhatsApp number;
If my tears aren't sufficient to attract your pity, sent me a bucket.
My heart is beating faster,
My enemies are smiling.
Where are thee?
Have compassion,
Shame my enemies...!
Energize me,
I am lazy without you...!
Rescue me from their evil chamber,
The church is my actual home...
