By Sanni Oluwatimileyin Lord, when you deal out trials from your heavenly cards, please, help my frail hands hold on firmly, do not give to me a burden greater than the might of my weary muscles. You promised, Lord. You promised not to. I
am weak, You know, and yet, some of these cards You deal me are made of lead. I am trembling, trembling, trembling and I-- reek of sweat, and every muscle in my body is swearing in Your name that they will break beneath the weight of these trials. Lord, do You open my book of errors when dealing the trial cards. Do they enrage You? Dear Lord, is this the death you promised, as the wage of sins?

This is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes making think of how helpless can be in the face of the storms.

Imploration is piece that shows a heart which accepts it's weaknesses and brokenness, and needs help from divinity.

This poem is plea to God. It reminds God of how helpless man can be, and that God in times of trials, should remember not to let problems and temptations that outweighs his ability to come to him as God promised, because he is already trembling.
