I want to feel contentment, instead I feel anxiety
I want to feel the blessings coming my way and cherish them, instead I feel like the month is dragging
I want to feel like the devil is chained, instead I sometimes question the reality of my faith
I want taste the sweetness of worship, instead my worship feels like a part of my chores
I want to feel the community instead I feel alone
I want to feel protected, instead some days I don’t
I want to feel connected to my creator, instead many times I don’t
I want to genuinely believe, instead sometimes I am unsure
I want to stop the struggle, instead, I can’t
