Brick Wall

What do I do when my words seem to hit brick walls,
No matter how hard I try, frustration chokes me.
A heavy burden falls upon my shoulder.
My own strength and patience fail me,
My own means, just lead to disaster
Oh Lord, All I seem to do is mess up.
I cannot do this on my own,
For I have already tried and failed.

Grant me the patience, Oh Lord,
To show these guys your love.
Speak through me, give me the words to say,
That will pierce their longing hearts,
And reveal to them what is missing in their lives.
Oh, Lord, I see myself reflected in these guys,
And all I want to do is love them like you do
To be a true friend, which I barely had
I want to share with them all that you have done for me
Because without you, there would not be me.
Hard times lie ahead for these guys
And I don’t want to see them go it alone.

Lord, I pray that you will use me in their lives,
To be the presence of your love,
And in being part of their lives, may your name be glorified.

Lord, give me strength
For my strength is already gone
Fill me with your joy
For my burdens are wearing me down.
Lord, let your name be glorified,
In all that I do for you.
