Debilitating waves wash over me
Higher and higher
Can I withstand them?
Like torrential rains
they threaten to drown me
taking me to unfathomable depths
In the wide scope of life
does it matter enough to let it obscure me?
Will I survive? Overcome? Thrive?
Who knows me enough to understand?
Does anyone have an empathetic ear
to ease this soul-wrenching misery?
Let the waves come
Let them wash over me
I WILL stand and not fall!
I will not succumb to the despair
I will see truth
And truth will set my heart free!
Free to walk out of the rising waters
Free to dry in the basking sunlight
Free to move forward unfettered, to take on a new day, a new way.
No panic shall claim me (it is fickle after all compared to me!)
No trial shall overcome me
I shall rise and be made new
Baptized in the tribulations of life
To be renewed and made whole
To be joyful in all that comes.
Walk on the waters
Feel the warmth of the Son
And be free.
Wow hope this is to encourage others.
