“A Silent Plea”

Ya Allah
Why is it so hard to let go
Something that never was
Why does my heart feel so unsettled
While I claim You have my trust

Why does my iman crumble
After the slightest inconvenience
Why do I feel so hopeless
Despite the miracles I’ve experienced

Why is it so easy to forget my blessings
Why is it so easy for me to complain
Why is it so hard for me to forgive
Why is it so hard to forget my pain

Why does it take me so long to remember
There is no thought that goes unheard
Even when my tongue is unable
To utter a single word

You hear every silent plea
You see my tears flow like streams
You see my pain as I bury my dreams
You know me more than I know me

Ya Allah
Save me from this well of hardship
Like you saved Yusuf
Free me from this world’s stomach
Like you freed Yunus

Grant me patience like Yaqoub
Open for me all Your doors
Cure my heart like You cured Ayoub
Make my plan the same as Yours

Protect my heart in a ship like Nuh
From a flood of endless doubt
Gift me trust like Ibrahim
Keep my faith from leaking out

Split my sea of pain like Musa
Allow me to defeat my Firawn
Shape me in the way You love
For I am Yours
