Lamentations of the Heart...


I had the chance to express my broken humanity yesterday in the activity during the “dry-run” of our Bible Camp. It was awesome to articulate my pain and suffering then, during the time of “lahar”, in the very presence of God. It was such a profound experience.

Just want to share my lamentations….

Lord, why do I feel this way?
Why have you forsaken me?
Where are you, Lord?
Why me?

How long will I feel the suffering?
I am deeply hurting because of my situation..
Restless, disturbed and in distress!
I feel so weak and dispirited…

Please stop the damages, this tragedy.
Heal my bitterness, end my suffering,
trials and problems.
Abort, delete and end them, my Lord.

I do not see meaning in my life anymore….
How empty and futile this life is!
I need you, my Lord…
I surrender myself to You.

I call upon You, to comfort me with Your LOVE,
Embrace me with Your Divine COMPASSION,
Shower me Your unfailing STRENGTH,
And CRADDLE me in Your loving arms.

Have mercy on me, oh Lord,…You are my only HOPE…
My only SANCTUARY…
Let me rest in Your HEART…
So I can be at Peace…
Amen!
