Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

The Son’s Warmth and Love fell on my face
And I knew that I would receive His Grace.

Prayer For Myself

Rescue me from this infernal of damnation,
Speed be with you as I await,
Reality no more for me only dreams,
Cease this chapter in my life, desist and be no more.
Rescue me from this life of misery,
Guide me through the darkness that I do not understand,
Slay my pursuers for they must die,
Awaken me from this misty trance [...]
