Alone in my house, here I sit with my thoughts
It’s hard not to ponder the what if’s and what not’s
I struggle not to journey down the path of my fears
My thoughts on this path are usually trailed by tears
Will my kids have a mother, will my husband have a wife?
How long will God bless me on this earth with my life?
I know that I serve a great God that can heal
But is my faith really that big? Will it someday be real?
I hope that my words aren’t too dark and depressing
Just keep reading on to see what I’m really addressing
When I lay down these burdens that I tend to convoy
It’s amazing how quickly my sorrow turns to joy
It’s only by God’s grace and his mercy I’m here
He wants me on my knees, he wants me to draw near
He’s working in my life in ways that I can’t imagine,
It’s all a grander scheme that none of us can fathom
So when life has you in a place where all you feel is despair
Please know that there is a God who is bigger out there
He is bigger than your burden, your hurts and your trial
He knows everything about you, even before you could smile
He wants to be with you, to hold your hand down this road
He wants to help you, lift the burdens you load
He’ll be your comfort, your joy and your peace
When you let him, it’s amazing, that sense of release
I don’t know what I’d do without God in my life
He has been my stronghold in the midst of this strife
But my faith is being tested, and will it stand firm
I truly hope so, but that is something I’ll learn
So whatever journey you find yourself on
I hope this can help you, the words in my song
Please remember that God wants to walk by your side
Cast your burdens on him, it can be quite a ride
Hi Charysse,
Thanks for your poem. It is beautiful. We love you and are praying for you! May God bless you with His peace, rest and strength. He is our strong tower where we are safe when we run to Him! Prov. 18:10
PS you are invited to our lighthouse circle of prayer Thurs.2/26 at 7 pm.
Charysse, this is absolutely beautiful! You have a real talent and gift – I have tears in my eyes. It’s so neat to be back in touch with you…through Kyle, I knew that you were in Tulsa awhile back, but I missed finding that out by DAYS! Although I’d never want you to be back here (for the previous reason), if you ever are in OK, please let me know. It would be fantastic to see you again! I will totally keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, pretty lady!
Charysse,
I am praying for you! I will pray that the Lord is near to you and that he is healing your body. Thanks for these words from your heart.
Psalm 16: 5-11
