“Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfill my hope,
"How I wish that my prayer would be answered- that God would give me what I'm hoping for,

“All I want is an answer to one prayer, a last request to be honored: Let God step on me—squash me like a bug, and be done with me for good. I’d at least have the satisfaction of not having blasphemed the Holy God, before being pressed past the limits. Where’s the strength to keep my hopes up? What future do I have to keep me going? Do you think I have nerves of steel? Do you think I’m made of iron? Do you think I can pull myself up by my bootstraps? Why, I don’t even have any boots!
If only my request would be granted. If only God would grant me what I hope for:
“O that I might have my request, and that God would grant my desire;
Why won't God give me what I ask? Why won't he answer my prayer?
Who giveth, or granteth, that mine asking come to me; and that God give to me that thing, that I abide? (and that God give me that thing, that I wait for?)
