Extended Tour of Hell
Dear Lord,
Okay, I am certain you are trying to teach me something here, but a hint or two on what I am supposed to be learning would sure be nice.
I know that sometimes I am not supposed to understand, but Lord, I am a pretty slow learner. If you could maybe just point me in the direction you are trying to lead me, I would be forever thankful.
And Lord?
I was wondering…
I have really had enough of this extended tour of Hell and have really figured out it is not where I would ever like to be. Ya figure you can bring me topside again anytime soon?

Cricket, I love your candor! I think that the Lord really enjoys prayers like this!
There is a song that I listen to when I feel this way that helps motivate me.
If You’re Going Through Hell
Rodney Atkins
If You’re Going Through Hell
Well you know those times
When you feel like there’s a sign there on your back
Says I don’t mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You’d think they can’t get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
And you don’t know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you
That’s when you learn the truth
If you’re going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If you’re scared, don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I’d fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah
But the good news
Is there’s angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one’s that you’ve been dragging for so long
You’re on your knees
You might as well be praying
Guess what I’m saying
If your going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If you’re scared don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Yeah, If you’re going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there
If you’re going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If your scared don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there
Yeah, If your going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Yeah, you might get out
Before the devil even knows your there.
I always ask for a giant neon arrow, smack upside the head and kick in the butt toward the right direction. Anything less I won’t get. 😉
