It hurts all over...
Lord, where is the boy?
Was there a "clean-up" last week?
Does that explain it?
Please, watch over him.
We tried to help, but...

My Downs friend,
Why was she heading that direction so late last night?
And why were her eyes wet?
Really looked like some tears coming out of at least one
Is she okay?
Please take care of her.
If she was getting hurt, would anyone ever know?

The church
How much of what they are "getting" and sharing is real?
That lady--her face looks so strained and drawn with stress
But when you ask how she is, she quickly quips a "Doing well, thank the Lord!"
Am I the only what that feels a level of falsity?
I'm deeply disturbed by this
And yet, what, how can I ... help?

And I'm hurting and confused about a relationship
Thinking back
There was hope for good
But now it feels mostly like pain
How did this happen?
Where did I go wrong?
Did I?
Or...is this just the way it is?

You ask me God
To Wait on You,
To hope in You,
To put my trust in You

You ask me to Listen
Which means to come to You in prayer
To hear Your plans

You remind me that you are good,
that I can expect great things from Youl
