Prayer



At your Wits End
In a Vicious Circle
Situation a Catch 22
When all paths are closed
There is one Path Open

Place of Worship
Pleading with
Straight face for
Almighty 's Grace

Forgiveness sought
In Guilt cought
Faith in the Unknown
Fills the heart

Hope and Faith
Double edged
Betwixt and Between
Signals imagined
Favorably positioned

Disillusioned Doubtful
Embittered Skeptical
Lost Faith Since
Acceptance Assurance
Confidence Credence
Regained Faith Hence

Visits increase
Prayers intense
False pretense
Now Past Tense

Fruition of objective
Removal of obstacle
Reasons for increase
Place of worship

Process processed
Hope and Despair
ECG line
Turn out fine
Matter of time
Nothing will change
All for Nothing

Logical outcomes
Mutually exclusive
One Act of God
Remains Elusive
Faith in hope
God has to prove
His existence to you

Hope in faith
Period sustains
Outcome decides
Almighty s fate

Turns out a joke
Purpose at crossroads
Seeking his grace
Down the road
Seeking proof of grace

A solemn request
Is a quest
Magic expected
In this shortcut
If the Miracle
Were to happen
It would have
Already happened
