Summer Ends with a Prayer

Dear God,

Today I ask that you heal my broken heart.
Turn my situation around.
I know there are many of things that I ask you for.

I know that all summer I've tried to keep the faith.
I tried to hold on to the rope that bruised my hand.
I put all my trust in you.

I have tried so hard to remain positive with all of the things happening around me.

I have cried so many times. I am sorry for questioning your work in my life.

I am sorry for doubting the things that you are capable of doing.

My faith has been wavering and I  have been selfish to think that you haven't heard my cry.

God please help me to be in a better state.
God change my attitude.
God make me over.
God give me the strength to fight all of my battles.

I know it is you that speaks and moves mountains on my behalf.

God forgive me for my evil thoughts and any ways that are not like you.

In Jesus name.

The fish bowl

Dear Inspirations,  

I feel forced to think of my life as a huge bowl. 

A bowl in which I'm inside of trying to get out of. 

I've been forced to find myself sinking in this imaginary bowl or sometimes soaking like a fish. 

I saw people climbing out of my exact bowl. I saw people getting in my fish bowl too. 

I knew I wanted to be out of it. 

I knew I needed to be on the outside of this bowl. 

I could hear the voices saying "just keep swimming". 

My fins were tired. 

My heart was to small to continue. 

I knew if I gave up now there would be no story to tell. 

There would be no one that could tell my story like I would.

I was in the bowl trying to get out.

No one to rescue me but me. 

She kept swimming. 

One day she got out. 

Love 

Jasmine P.
