The Lonely Drummer Boy from Bahrain
Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
My email box overflows--just like yours. There's the business mail, the junk mail, the funny mail, the inspirational mail, the personal mail--and the Peggie's Place mail. People write from around the world--and this one touched my heart. I have permission from "the lonely drummer in Bahrain" to include his note in today's Bible Booster.
He's 21 years old, from the country of Bahrain, and wrote, "(God's) been a friend and my father. At this moment my situation has influenced me to compose this prayer for him, because i believe in him and I love him." I assured this young man that not only would I pray for him, but people around the world visiting my Web site would also remember him in prayer. Please do--I quote his prayer and hope it will touch your heart as it did mine:
The Cry of the Drummer Boy
I knock at the gates of heaven, and I call upon your presence, oh Lord
I knock at the gates of heaven, I ask you to hear my prayer.
A lone sinner am I begging for your mercy,
A lone sinner am I asking to hear for my call.
My life has been in the midst,
For I have nothing at all.
My life is in hardship and pain
I cant keep track of my soul.
For you alone, God, are the holy one!
For you alone, God, I will strive!
I love thee, oh Lord!
I have faith in thee
But I keep falling, oh Lord!
What is happening to me?
Lord as I kneel before you,
I humbly bow down.
I ask for thy grace and mercy,
For a pure and humble heart.
I feel that my life is breaking apart,
I have never had a happy life,
And yet now, I still keep my faith,
Beating my drums for you.
As you know, Lord, since I was young,
I grew up with you.
I served you closer when I was an altar boy,
The gift of playing drums, I played for you.
And yet, Lord why is it do I feel so lonely?
Why am I falling towards my life?
Lord, I love you, You are my father, my Dad from above,
HELP me...Help me, Father, In thy glory, In thy faith.
I have forgiven all those who have hurt me,
All those who have used me...
Raise me up, oh Lord...bring me the success that I am longing for...
In your name I know that my prayers are answered.
Thank you. I LOVE YOU.
Lonely drummer boy, God hears your prayer, and the Body of Christ around the world will be praying for you--and for other lonely people just like you, surfing the Web and needing God's love and help. He's there--wherever on Planet Earth we all live--believe it--and have a great day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them who trust in him shall be desolate (Psalm 34:1)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, there's alot of "lonely drummer boys" out there, surfing the Web, looking for love and answers to their needs. May they know YOU are the only Answer...You are the hope of their lives. Grant Your love, joy and peace to flood their souls this day, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
