I hate explanations

Hey guys,
this poem is really my heart sending a prayer to God. College is taking me across the country, and things are hard enough as it is. It was a hard decision, but in the end, we both agreed it was best for our friendship. He was considered an amazing blessing and continues to be as much a blessing as a friend. Thank you.

I just now pray that God will answer this prayer....

I come to the altar with no Isaac to bring,

Just the desire to be loved and the hope for a ring

I've waited, I've worried, and I have failed to trust,

So take from me this desire and teach me as you must

All alone before you, my heart I spill

With laughter and tears, this empty vessel fill

I am looking Lord no longer for a man

Bt now to You and what You have planned

I am gifted and growing and I want to serve You

Just show me where to go and who to serve as I seek to follow through

And if alone You want me for years to come

Isolate and teach me what is to be done

I cant fight You any longer, I am too weak

I am done with fool's gold, and real treasure I seek

I want You, oh Lord, to put a twinkle in my eye,

I want You to be my focus and not any other guy

But even as I say this, part of me holds back

Help me to see that singleness is a blessing not an attack

Lord help me not to feel worthless, unblessed and alone

Help me to throw my cares at the foot of Your throne

As You want me to wait, Lord please put a hold on my heart

Help me not to give it away to someone who'll tear it apart

As I lay my desire down at Your feet

Help me to be honest and my promise to keep

Help me in loneliness to focus on the cross

And when I feel left out, help me count it as loss

I don't want to struggle; I am too tired to fight

Help me to keep on doing what is right

Remove from me this jealousy and replace it with joy

Fill my thoughts with You oh Lord instead of a boy

On the altar of sacrifice I place my desire

And I ask, Lord, right now that You'll burn it with fire

Please accept it, Oh Lord, for its all I have to give

Help me to let go of this bondage and truly live

Take all of me Lord, even when I'm opposed

Help me to trust in You, the One who always knows

On my knees I fall with tears on my face

And I ask Lord, only that You'll meet me in this place

Altars are for bloodshed so, Lord, here's my heart

Take it from me now, and grant me a new start
