Prayer - the ups and downs of life

  

When you feel that no one understands you

I do feel different
Sometimes in a good way a ‘proud to be me' way
Sometimes in a ‘I'm a bit of a freak' way
I would like to blend in more
Be more like ‘them'
Be accepted

I know this begins with accepting myself
And knowing that God really does love me
But I seem to find this hard to do

Help me, I pray, to accept who I am
To rejoice in my uniqueness
And to know that, if they pray at all,
Most of ‘them' will be praying the same prayer.
