I can feel hope rising in the distance I know You can understand my resistance So much has happened, so much pain These scars I hold from terror, misery and so much of the same Trust doesn't come easy and fear seems to reign My soul yearns for You, knowing You're the one keeping me sane In this temporary life I've been given It's Your truth and words that I want to keep me driven In the shadows of the past and the light of the future It's Your comfort and grace I want to nurture

Marc, Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

My shattered heart has forever been changed From the day peace and I became estranged I feel as if I'll never be the same I have no foundation left to claim It's been rocked, shifted and torn apart Deep in my soul its left its mark Leaving me clinging to any sign of hope Reminding me of the words You once spoke Calming the sadness deep within Silencing the whirlwind of emotions that seem to win Until faith brings me back to a place I'd once been

Peace eludes me Struggle brings me to my feet I stand alone in the darkness Unable to grasp solace Wilted from defeat I call out to You Lord for comfort and peace Only to hear silence, so I retreat Back into my own mind for some time Unable to find the answers to what my heart seeks I know You're out there just within reach I pray one day I'll truly find You Then my heart can rest Knowing that all that's happened has been for my best

Thank you very much!

Thank you. I fixed it.

https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Against-All-Odds-Testimony/dp/1631297422 This is a poem that will be in the revised addition to my book that will be out in the next couple of weeks. There are days it feels as if hell has a grip on my soul I cry out for help and He hears my cries. I ask, why must the suffering have no end? I am but a tortured soul begging for peace Will it never end? Will it never cease? Pain riddles my body attempting to shake my soul I will not bend I will not falter I know my Father's power and unending mercies

Its times like this That i call upon you To help me not to fall Away from your loving arms And into a self absorbed pit Of pain, restlessness and agony That lives within my own mind Heal my brokenness Lord Bring me back to you Show me the way to go To find hope and peace Show me your way Your grace and understanding That i may reflect upon

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you HK1

I believed my faith was strong That I would be ready for when something went wrong Instead I found my foundation crumbling When trouble came rumbling Now I’m holding on even stronger Even if it takes a while longer To see the bigger picture I’ll dive into your scripture To better understand your reasons For the struggling seasons I’ll read about Job, Joseph and Paul And see how you were there for them all In their struggles and pain You s

When the world comes crashing in Where do I go to Where do I hide To run from the incoming tide Away from all the pain and all the hurt To a place where love comes first I’m letting go of all false control Leaning on you to heal my soul Cradled in your arms I’ll be Until you take this all from me

I feel so lost and torn apart From all the gravel being thrown about Where is my justice where is my part In this world I have lost my spark It doesn’t live here in the shadows It doesn’t live here in the trees It blossoms in its slumber So very far from me
