Another Prayer to the Father

Oh Father,

My heart is yet broken again. I feel like breaking down my dam of tears so that my sorrow will be drowned in my sobs.

I try to steel myself not to be deeply engaged in someone's life. I try to be ignorant and insensitive so that I won't have to be hurt when they leave or let me down. I try...but it never works.

My nature calls for intimacy with those around me. I tend to get attached with those whom I know. I love to love deeply even when it hurts.

Now I have nowhere to turn to but You. I'm hurt and wounded. Father, I need You.

My love will be wavered...but Yours will remain forever.

Better be a broken-hearted person than never know what love is at all.

Jesus, come and heal my brokeness...please. I need You.
