My Path

Seeking guidance from the man up stairs.

I know the paths I take in life are predetermined.
Every step I take and choice I make should be on the right path.
The good times full of happiness and joy.
Also the hard times when I feel as if there is no way out.
Heartaches that leave me thinking I will never be happy or whole again.
Are all in your plan for me in order to make me strong.
Preparing me for my moment in life to do your will.
Teaching me to be patient, strong, forgiving, caring, understanding.
Most of all though, to love.
I just need to know a few things God.
What is you plan for me?
Why is my path in life so hard?
Why did I lose those I loved, and kept so dear in my heart?
Why must I fight so hard to get one step up?
Just to be knocked right back down again.
Why for every happy moment you give me?
Is there an avalanche of heartache that follows?
Why must my journey through life be so full of pain?
Will I ever have more happiness than sorrow?
Why do you need me to be so strong?
Though It keeps me on the edge of giving up I move on.
Will I make it through till the time when I am needed?
Or will I succumb to this heartache and depression?
Before I ever able to complete your task.
I just ask one favor of you, and I will question no more.
Help me learn to live again without all this pain.

This is an amazing poem because it's so real. This really is what prayer is like. So many times I think, ok, I know there's a plan, but can I please SEE the plan or something? It's often hard to know what path God wants us to take, especially during those times when life is just kind of awful. My favorite line in this poem is, "Why do you need me to be so strong?" It's such a deep, plaintive question, and one I can relate to. We all endure trials in our lives, and it's a test of our faith, but the tests are hard. We can take some comfort in the fact that God will never give us more than we're capable of handling, and He doesn't make us handle it alone - He is with us every step of the way, even when it doesn't seem that way. Awesome poem!

Thank You....I dont know where or what he has planned for, but it must be something wonderful. I also agree he is with us in everything we do. Thank You for your words it has helped alot as I question at times if he is with me or has let satan have me. I hope I am able to put more thoughts into words into a poem that you and others enjoy. Thank You So Much...

He never lets Satan have us. Never, ever, ever. We're always in His arms, even when we're broken. Especially then. He's the God of the broken ones.

I hope so, actually I know so. Life just takes a lot from us at times leaving us to question why it happened, and what to do next.
