My prayer tonight

How can life be so troubling?
It just chips and pulls at you bit by bit.
You can feel like you are slowly being torn apart at times.
There are some who lose the will to make it through, and I have my days, but somehow God always pulls me up again.

I go through each and every day, every hour has it's ups and downs, but somehow, through it all, I'm still here.
What my purpose is, I don't know, but I do know, God's not finished with me.

Many a time I have fallen, and He whispers to me," Get back up. You still got a ways to go."
He drags me back up if I choose to accept His hand.
He brushes me off, and sets me back on the straight and narrow.

God, your word is my bread, and your teachings my drink.
May I never be made to believe I am full.
For I can never have enough of You, Lord.
I hunger, I thirst; Lord, feed me through Your Spirit.

I never want my earthly desires preside over You, Father.
May it never be!
Help me to trust and walk in Your Holy Spirit.
Let me never turn away from Your yoke, Jesus.

When each day is done, may I rest in You, Lord.
Amen.
