Where in the World is God?
Posted: May 4, 2008
Who really cares about Matt Lauer's whereabouts?…
While millions wonder
where Matt Lauer's broadcasting today,
I'd dare say several million more
are asking as they pray...
"Where in the world are You my God?
Have you forsaken me?
I feel abandoned, lost, alone.
Adrift on some dark sea.
"I feel like You don't hear the prayers
I've launched from hopeful lips.
My anguished heart is overwhelmed.
My faith has lost its grip.
The calendar reminds me
that today's the Day of Prayer.
But frankly, Lord, I cannot pray.
I feel that You don't care."
And so dear Lord for these who think
You're anywhere but near,
I'm asking that You offer clues
that indicate You're here.
Break through the fog and help them know
(in spite of how they feel)
that You hear every prayer they pray
and have the power to heal.
That You, though sometimes silent,
have a plan You're working out.
A plan that's not upended
when our trust gives way to doubt.
