Struggling

Well I am not, for in strife I am wrought
In the struggle of wants and needs I am painfully caught
In the former there is me and in the latter, Him
Thoughts and desires furiously teem

To whom can I look to, for guidance and understanding
When no one knows this hell that I'm living
God seems so quiet and so far away
Friends' responses so predictable, that I turn away

Everyday I wake with my being in turmoil
My mind yearns for Him but my heart is soiled
God, when will my love for you not simmer but boil
That my life will evolve into a meaningful toil

Please be magnified O God and live again in me
Let this treachery of mine cease to be
That you may fill me with an everlasting light
One that never fades or flickers, but ever bright

Please God, flood me and drown me with your presence and love
Let me willingly and joyfully, in your courts serve
Intercede for me, in the gap between the living and the dead
That new conviction and meaning will from hereon be made
