His Help

“Just feeling a little sorry for myself but on thinking about it decided
everything was the way it was supposed to be and I should be happy.”

I ask the Lord for blessing but the blessings do not come,
Perhaps He can not bless me for things I have not done?

I ask the Lord for guidance but he doesn’t seem to care,
Perhaps within the scriptures is the answer to my prayer.

I ask the Lord for comfort but find it in my friends,
Are the kind souls all around me the comfort that he lends?

I ask the Lord for peace of mind to see me through the day,
He’s given me a “rod of iron” to cling to when I stray,

I ask the Lord for many things, so burdens I can bear,
And somehow, all around me, His help’s already there.
