Oh God, how many times have you heard this prayer?
Pleading for comfort in the midst of despair
Whenever all traces of hope seem to be gone
Please God, give me the strength to trudge on
Give me some patience from your reserve
And a little wisdom, and maybe some courage
Give me a shoulder to catch my tears
Give me the peace to quell my fears
Sometimes I feel so helpless and small
Like my life doesn’t make any difference at all
Please God, whenever I’m feeling this way
Just help me make it through the day
