The Broken Road

Oh Lord, what path am I on?

This path that is filled with cracks and holes.

Where have I come to?

How did I stray into unwanted territory?

The pavement is uneven,unstable.

Has my light dimmed that I cannot see this path that I travel.

It is unknown to me, a danger to my soul.

Show me where I strayed ABBA then I may return to your path.

So much brokenness, so much sorrow, but you oh Lord are the one I cry out too.

The lifter of my head and the security of my soul.

Draw me out of the pit I have fallen into.

Restore my mind that it is not buried in despair.

When we weep, you are our comfort.

When we are weak, you are our strength

Help me to arise from the ashes of discomfort and pain.

Restore the energy to my very being.

Rest is far from me sleep alludes me.

I cannot see the daylight in the dark place.

I am broken yet not destroyed.

May I arise and walk the bright path of restoration.

The path filled with your endless presence.

A place where I walked beside you hearing your blessed voice.

Restore my strength, heal my brokenness.

Unite me once again with your peace and joy.

Remove the shackles that I wear from straying into other fields.

Forgive my indiscretions and wash me from all righteousness.

Make me pure again as I no longer walk this broken road.

For God’s glory, amen.
