Jesus, Please Take This Life,

 Filled With Disappointments…

My life has been getting very stressful…

It seems like everything I try is unsuccessful.

No matter my good intentions or how hard I try…

I fail again….  And get upset and cry!

It seems like all that I do or how hard I pray…

I wake up and don’t want to face another day!

There’s many who seem like they’re “blessed!”

But me?  My life is just one big huge MESS!

I often feel like a “blob” that fell to the ground.

When I need someone...  There’s no one to be found!

I feel worn out, discouraged and defeated.

Any sense of self-worth has been “deleted.”

Someone  told me of a savior who really cares…

If I need some help…  He’s always there!

All of my disappoints and failures to Jesus I give!

His love has now changed how I live!

He brought to my life a hope, I never had before!

He brought love, peace, and so much more!

He’s taken away all of my pain and sorrow…

And has promised to be there for me…  Tomorrow~

He took the word “failure” from a life that’s broken!

His powerful words of hope were clearly spoken!

I have hope, no matter what tomorrow may bring…

I know that Jesus is my righteousness and everything!

I find comfort in his arms so loving and strong!

He’s welcomed me and told me that I BELONG!

In Christ Jesus…  I’ve found the

 meaning of SUCCESS!

Now my life is no failure…

 But is abundantly blessed!
