I am Hoping
By Noman
06 April 2006
I am hoping that writing will release me from the tingly, twisty illness that I feel inside.

I am hoping that writing is what I came to this earth to do, that I have finally found my reason for being.

I am hoping that having finally found what I am meant to do, I will be able to do what ever it is I am meant to do.

I am hoping that what ever ripples I am meant to make by my existance, that I am able to make them, fully, completely, as I was meant to do.

I am hoping I can thus keep my word to God and do what I promised to do when I came here.

I am hoping that having completed my work, I will be able to go home to the light, the love and the music.

I am hoping that those I have lost are waiting for me when I pass, even if it is just the result of a momentary audit of my unresolved life experiences as my brain dies.

I am hoping that when I die, I die at the right time, in the right way, having fulfilled my duties.

I am hoping that God will be merciful, forgive me my imperfections and embrace me as his willing servant.

I am hoping that God will be kind to me as I live the remainder of my life and will not make me stay here for one second longer than necessary.

I am hoping that God is compassionate and holds my sore heart in his loving hands as I walk this painful life.

I am hoping that God will soothe me and tend my wounds in my hours of darkness.

I am hoping that there is an end to all of this and that it is worth it.

I am hoping I am hoping

prayer
Written by robokent (84 comments posted) 29th April 2006
Noman, 
 
Reads like a prayer, a powerful one at that, full of thoughts and hopes that all of us have.  
 
The sentiments are strong and flow nicely. 
 
One thing: okay, we know where you want to end up, but what my question is, what is the 'illness' that has been eating you up before your discovery of your real purpose. And what happens if that purpose is never fulfilled?

I didn't intentionally write this as a prayer. On reflection, I realised that it has a prayerful quality. 
 
The illness is depression, something that has affected me for as long as I can remember. 
 
If I do not not fulfil my purpose...I trust that will have done enough. Good questions, I had a longer reply typed but my computer ate it when I pressed the wrong key!! grr
