ENLIGHTEN MY EYES

The strong is not immune to depression;

Even a mighty giant-slayer may have confusion.

Doubts can cast dark shadows on the mind;

And one wonders why God seems to be blind.

 

He seems to be deaf to prayers too;

Where is the God who is faithful and true?

Fears arise and they do not go away easily;

The heart fears the triumph of the enemy.

 

A prayer for enlightenment must ascend to God;

The heart and mind need to be revived by the Lord.

The Lord has not hidden His face at all;

He is there to hear the moment we call.

 

Enlightenment will help us cope;

It will bring a fresh sense of hope.

Trust in God’s mercy must remain;

Faith in the Lord will not be in vain!
