Save me Father

I don’t understand your ways Lord!

Why You would let a child grow up without a father?

Why You would allow children to accuse their father unjustly?

Fix it God. Fix these broken relationships!

Don’t leave me dangling here in this painful abyss,

Angrily waiting for something that only You can mend.

    

So what does faith look like in this mess?

Why does it have to look like this?

Where are You? Can’t You see my pain?

I’m thrashing about with my heart flailing!

Comfort me! Hold me!

Keep me from harming those I love!

I will never be able to see the good in being fatherless

I will never be able to see the good in broken relationships

I will never be able to see how this is for my good.

Yet Father, I know You are good.

You are compassionate.

You are loving.

So I will lift my hands to You and praise You!

O God, turn toward me in my anger

Show me compassion and save me.
