Where has my joy gone, Father?
Why can I not have peace?
What can I do to change things,
To find some kind release?
Sometimes I feel I can’t go on,
Can’t face another day
Of endless chores and ne’er a word
Of thanks along the way.
I feel like such a failure
’Cause my attitude’s so bad.
Am I not trusting You enough?
Is this why I’m so sad?
Oh, help me, Lord—I’m desperate.
I cannot stay the course.
Provide the strength I need right now,
Please be my guiding force.
“In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help.”
—Ps. 18:6 (NIV)
