Psalm 5 - His Silent Voice Poem by Boston Kelley

My God, why can I not hear from you?
Where is Your voice?
I pray and listen for you,
yet the voice I hear,
I doubt is yours.
I can remember when You convicted me
on many occasions, reminding me
to live for you.
Your Love provided me with a way to
hear You, but I have been cut off
from it.
I am instead surrounded by my earthly
worries and weighed down with my own
fears.
There is so much to be learned from
Your Word, so much to live for,
that it seems impossible to know
it all as a human.
So many others seem to understand
what you require and have godly
knowledge while I am surviving
off the basic teachings.
I hear 'pray not as a last resort,
but as a first', 'don't worry about
anything, instead, pray about everything',
and I still don't hear You.
How much must I pray and read Your Word
to hear from You?
When will the time come when You convict me?
I desire to be convicted, to know what I
need to do differently, so I can follow You.
Please, do not hide from me,
for I wander confused and with very little
knowledge.
