Christian writer ... Missing Piece

I've felt really lost lately and until about a week ago, I couldn't figure out what was going on. I knew I was depressed, but couldn't find the reason. I know what was missing now - God - and I'm doing my best to get that relationship back in place.

Missing Piece

I am so sad and tired
I hunger, thirst and long
In fatigue I'm deeply mired
My heart, it has no song

So much I should be thankful for
So much good is in my life
Why do I feel so low and poor
And dwell on hurt and strife?

Something here just is not right
An unsettling of my soul
My life has lost its hope and light
I just do not feel whole

At last it is becoming clear
Just where the problem lies
I push away the doubt and fear
And see with open eyes

In all the chaos of this world
My wandering will not cease
Until Christ's banner is unfurled
God, you're the missing piece

Wow, I love that. I ask that all the time. Then I think there must be something wrong with me and I set up camp for awhile and have a pity party...and I don't invite God to snap me out of it. That is my number one way to have a depressing day.
