I prayed hard for you

Sometimes I wonder "why?"
Sometimes I wonder, "can it really be this hard?"
It makes me think
It makes me want to help
but then I ask myself "why?"
They can't change
Only you can

Sometimes I wonder, "why am I holding on?"
When it seems so hopeless
Then I am answered with "pray for him"
Then I realize, "I can help"

I fall to my knees
Tears stream from my eyes
my heart aches with pain for Him
and now I can say, "I prayed for you"
But what with that?
Can I say, "I prayed hard for you"?
I desire to be of assitence, yet I myself desire not to be destroyed

I am answered with "pray for him"
So when the times are hard
when I begin to ask myself "why?" or "when?" or "how?"
I will kneel to my knees, speak softly to my Lord, and allow my tears to be wept
Then through all the fear, doubt, confusion, and apprehension,
I can say, "I prayed hard for you"
