Prayer - the ups and downs of life

  

When you try so hard but get nowhere

I've applied for over a hundred jobs...
Another relationship has ended badly...
We so want children...
I try to make ends meet but there just isn't enough money - the debt just keeps growing...

Christians tell me that you know all this by being human yourself
Trying to get your message across and getting worse than nowhere
Suffering and dying

I am a Christian
I am not a Christian
I don't know what I am

But following your story takes us all to the end of all ends
The failure of a cruel death

And then to the beginning of all beginnings
The day spring of life

I don't expect a miracle
But I know that when people say they ‘muddle through'
They do find an opening, an answer
Looking back, they see that they have moved forward

This would be miracle enough for me
Tomorrow I will... (start again... try this... talk to...)
And tomorrow you will rise again to help me.
