Au-T - All Prayers Ain't Nice

In this season of my life, I've done nothing but grieve
Grieving the dead and even living human beings
Folks say, pray for comfort
Well, how do I pray to a God who took so much away from me
It sounds crazy to reach out to the reason I'm hurting
The Bible says, give all your worries and cares to the Lord for he cares about you
How caring were you all those nights I cried myself to sleep
It's like my heart is either in love or hurting
There's never an in between
God, you're selfish
You want to be the only one I run to
You placed me in isolation so I could grow closer to you
You want to be the one to provide all my needs
But what if all I need is a hug
You can't even touch me
There's times I need a pat on the back to be looked in the eyes and told
I know you're hurting, but you're doing a good job
God, my love language is physical touch
So how could you ever love me the right way
How can you love me in my language when I can barely hear you speak
Most times I confuse his voice with my thoughts
I mix up signs for coincidences
God, I'm not good at this
This path is so narrow I feel like I don't even have room to breathe
I am not one of your so-called soldiers right now
I'm weak
There's not one strong bone in my body
I can't cry out because there's no tears left
So I yell
I write poetry that part of me is too scared to share
But the other part of me is hoping that someone out there has prayed
this same angry prayer well
Keep praying
Through your anger and sadness pray
Don't let your feelings cover your faith
Don't let your fear get in the way
God don't care if you yell, just stay close
Big feelings can never stand a chance against faith the size of a mustard seed
Your emotions will never be too heavy for God to carry
Pray
God don't mind confrontation
Because it's harder to bless you when you get distant
