Response to A Retreatant's Prayer

by: John Walter B. Juat

Thank you my child for answering My call

I long to lavish my love on you and give you my all 

I'm here to strengthen you each time you fall

So that one day you'll be able to stand up tall

I love you unconditionally; I want you to be happy

I want you to choose to love me freely

trust in Me my child; trust in me fully

For I love you, child, as my one and only

Soar high like an eagle above the sky

I long for you to freely fly

Let go of the rotten meat, with it you'll die

It may be difficult, but I'll help as long as you try

I know sometimes you feel like a failure

But don't be discouraged; I love you, that's for sure

To love and to save will always be my nature

Love me, my child, and I'll give you a fruitful future

Carry on with your struggles and persevere

Be assured that your prayers, I truly hear

I am not a distant God, for I am right here

I am also a Loving Father, there's nothing to fear

Though you are blinded by sin, I can regain your sight

Just learn to be humble, don't rely on your own might

Ask for help humbly and you'll win the spiritual fight

Turn to Me, my son, I'll lead you to the light

Love Confession, my child, experience my mercy

For I will never stop forgiving you, no matter the gravity

Just always be sincere, ask for the grace humbly

And I will surely give you joy, peace and serenity

I love you and you are so dear to me

My beloved child, you always will be
