Dear Reader,

        I'm asking you to pray for my friend, I know he really loves the Lord but lately he's been struggling!

I think I might be the only one he's talked to so I kind of feel bad for posting this, 

                      but he just really needs some help.

This friend of mine I swear, I don't really know what he needs, but I know he needs your prayers

         This guy is really trying, you can see it if you try

 but still he way too often looses his cool and makes me sad enough to cry

                     This guy, he really loves the Lord. I know he's even reading daily;

all his prayers are genuine but I think his faith could use some strengthening

     This guy confided in me, that he really just wants to die to self,

he told me that he just wants more of Jesus

                                    I know he wouldn't put God on a shelf.

The problem is this guy has failed

            so many times before,

 can't you please just pray for him because he needs the Lord

        There's a lot that I don't wanna tell you, cause only God and him should know,

the things that he struggles most with, but that he hopes would never show.

      There's really only just a few things,

that this guy ever wants or needs.

                          Yet still he seems so broken hearted and I think he is afraid to bring up his good deeds.

This friend I have I see him,

         every single Sabbath,

he has the best chuch family that any one could ask of

                     and every morning this guy, he falls down on his knees

every morning you can hear him begging, you can listen to his please...

         I know he wants the lovely Jesus,

  to come into the scene

          this guy would love it if the savior would take control of his thoughts, and mind, and deeds.

This friend of mine he often even says a silent prayer,

                       he really gets so crushed by every sin I dare not share..

There is just one more thing that you really ought to know,

           This guy is really wretched, he's a worm I will not lie

and I fully understand if you don't want to save your prayers for another guy.

                   There is just one thing I'm hiding

though it may be in plain sight,

                                    all the things I've shared with you are my own dear plight.
