Grief comes in waves, but Anxiety is a pelting downpour From which there is no physical shelter. Turning up my face to the Lord, Drops sting as though they cut my cheeks, Not leaving the satisfaction of a scar. Bending down my head in prayer, They beat against my skull, Pushing my face Closer to the suffocating mud. What shall I do, Lord? I cry to You with all my heart- Deeper down- to the depths Where my soul must reside. I fight for You in my thoughts, Lord, Clinging to the memory of Your promises. They seem to slip from my grasp, Ripped away by the forceful downfall which Offers no mercy of relenting. I know You will not forsake me And that Your Hand will not allow this downpour forever, But I am finding it hard to believe I shall find rest this side of Heaven. Perhaps I won't, Dear Lord, and if that's Your Will, I shall take it. I fear for my ability to be used For Your Purposes when every day it seems All I can manage is mere existence Paralleling the continual fight Against this barrage from the enemy. I desire to model Your love, peace, Hope, and steadfast lovingkindness To those around me, Particularly my children, Father. My flesh is far too weak. Please fill me with Your Spirit, Jesus, That I may live abundantly as You promise. My prayer is of the Bible, Father: I believe; please help me in my unbelief. In Christ's Name, Amen. |

~Faith~
These poems have something to do with my journey in faith. I was introduced to the Gospel at the age of 13. After much skepticism and scrutiny (I read the entire Holy Bible cover-to-cover and asked a pastor countless questions), I put my faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It was the best decision I've ever made. These poems are related to the trials and triumphs I have walked through since that time. Archives
