Where are you God in my pain I can’t hear you or see you My grief and fear are mixed I’m broken inside
*
Who will come and help I cry in desperation Can you hear me, God The silence is deafening In unbelief and belief
*
You said for me to “Be Still” And know that you are God My anxiety blinds me My fear imprisons
*
I need you to come Keep your promises you gave I am overwhelmed There is no one to comfort My body and soul feel dead
*
I need a resurrection You understand all my grief You meet me with compassion I will wait for you
*
You always come at right times My soul is refined by fire False thinking I’ve depended on No longer secures
*
I stand waiting for relief Your comfort is far away That is the way I’m feeling I find no relief
*
“I have come to heal To bring hope to the hopeless Freedom for the prisoners Give sight to the blind Bring good news to the poorest Give all the captives freedom”
*
Healing instead of relief Is the promise He’s given With mixed feelings do we hear Choose who we will trust
*
Reading Psalm 16 and 46 reveal a narrow path of hope. We all find ourselves at some time in the spot these reflections communicate. When I decided that I did not want relief but I wanted healing above all, a pinhole of light entered my world. I chose to move toward that light with trust and hope to make it through the storm I was in at the time. We all think no one understands. That is a lie. There is One who does and comes to bring that healing that only He can give. I choose to “Be still” trusting His words today.
