when those trials come, my human nature
shouts the things to do.
and God's soft prompting can be
easily ignored.

i see where my problem lies now.
those weeks that i just sweep God under my carpet,
they are hitting back at me now.
what a harsh punishment God,
i feel the pain, dilemma and confusion.
i'm tired of weighing the pros and cons.
why must they come to me all at one go?

the mind plays weird tricks on you.
the devil plants evil thoughts in you.
the body allows sin and temptation to manifest.
i am such a lost child.
just when i thought that all my woes are gone
and life can start afresh,
a new set of problems appear.

time to come away and let God.

To you i come,
before you i stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
Mother of the word incarnate,
despise not my petition.
But in your mercy,
hear and answer me Amen.
