I have lost my way. The waves and darkness combine to ensure my blindness.
Violent surges of angry swells beat profoundly and cause confusion in of all my senses.
Once confident in my journey with you, I find my faith capsized amidst the roaring turbulence and savage winds that surround me.
My God
Where are you? My soul cries for just a gentle current of breeze to graze my skin as you walk by.
To be reminded of your presence and calm my intractable despair.
My God
My heart cries out to you as I hear a still small voice whisper, “lean not unto your own understanding.”
My bones ache to sense even a faint impression from you, only to hear , “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
My flesh screams for a spoken word from you and I am met with “Be still.”
My God
My soul longs to feel the depth of your grace and the strength of your hand. My heart begs for the beauty of your love and the saving power of your most precious blood.
These raging waters are too much for my soul, and I am reaching to you as my flesh is buried in the suffocating expanse of this endless void.
My God
I am met again. Not with silence. But with a steady assurance of your truth, that nothing can tear me away from your love, and nothing can separate me from the eternal grip of your hand. My heart is settled as I know that you are with me as the sea rages, and temporarily blinds my vision.
My God
I know that I will overcome with you next to me, and that I cannot be defeated no matter the ominous surroundings. I cannot be lost despite the relentless forces that come against me.
I will trust.
I will be still.
And I will know…
That you are God.
