The salty sweetness of tears

Why ?
Why do You feel closer only when I need You ?
Why do I remember You only at my convenience ?
Why do I break my covenance with You ?
Why do I lord over things when I am but a slave ?
Why do I sin when I shouldn't ?
Why do I think of me when I am nothing ?

Because
Because You never let me down
Because despite my depravity You are always there
Because You have so much Love that it heals me
Because I am nothing

Ya Allah, please forgive this depraved soul.  Please forgive this slave of yours who is nothing but a bundle of weaknesses.  Please forgive your slave who didn't feel thankful enough.  Please forgive me even if I know I shouldn't be forgiven.

Ya Allah, please give me strength.  Give me strength so that I can wake up everyday and be steadfast in my imaan.  Give me strength so that I am a better Muslim when I fall sleep than when I first awaken.  Give me strength so that I can strive to earn a place in your Jannah.

Ya Allah, please give me courage.  Give me courage to be true to my Islaam and to myself.  Give me courage to deny all munkar and encourage ma'ruf.  Give me courage so that tawakkal is the necklace I wear as my adornment.  Give me courage so that redha is my spirit.  Give me courage so that tawbah is my way of life.

Ya Allah, please continue to Love me even when I don't deserve it.  Please continue to Shower me with Your Grace and Mercy even when I am struggling.  Please accept me.

Ya Allah, let these tears flow.  For as every drop weaves its way down the beaten tracks on my cheeks, it washes away the traces of pain along the paths I have taken in my life.  Ya Allah, let these tears sing paens of my repentence to You, Ya Rabbi.  Let me always taste the salty sweetness of this devotion to you.

Amin.
