Thoughts

Run away, run far, far awayI tell my intrusive thoughts, I sayFly away, fly far, far awayI tell my parched soul to not go astray. Try once more, once more againTo believe, to relieve, to live once again,I beg my soul to detach from the painThe sun is so high, but trust me, it will…

Prayer

Dear God Help me understand the difference between what is temporary and what is permanent And help me prioritize accordingly. Help me understand the difference between what is genuine and what is superficial And help me appreciate accordingly.
