hope in dark days
Lord, what do you say when you have nothing to say??? When I am at the end of myself, my efforts. I've always had an answer-I have none. None but my trust in you when nothing seems to make sense. I want to say, this is good-to feel the joy of the Lord but I know there is a time to mourn. I have experienced loss. A lie that I chose to believe and to deny the truth. Because I chose my way. I clung to a human and not the author and creator of me! I believe I will laugh again, feel joy, feel some sense of power but at this moment, I feel empty, void, numb, but with all those feelings there is you...the wonderful, beautiful YOU! The lover of my soul, the creator of all. I smile at the thought of you. My hope is in you. Hear my cry and help me to stand firm in this trial-this hour of testing. I hold fast to my faith and allow myself to be here without medicating in some way-shopping, food, male attention for I know you will come for me. I will not be deterred from my hope in you. Thank you, Lord, for helping me write this letter. I love you and I trust you are sometimes the hardest words to say when nothing makes sense. Will I praise you only in the good times? Will I be offended when you don't do as I think you should? When you allow my faith to grow through trial? How else would my faith grow if I never have to trust-when nothing makes sense but YOU-beautiful you, faithful, unfailing you. It's hard to be here-I won't lie to you or myself and try to paint a pretty picture of my current state but I believe in, trust in and rely on the unfailing love of my creator...that you did not bring me here to harm me but because you love me. I know you love me and I will cling to that and cling to you. You will not fail me. I believe that with all my heart and I will not let go of you!
