Perseverance

I will persevere! I will carry on! Though it seems life is pointless, Though it seems I'm going in circles, God has a plan and a purpose. I know He will bring me To the place I ultimately belong. The clouds are parting, And the sun is peeking through. Some days are still dreary, But I can feel the healing. For the first time in months, I can smile freely! Trusting in God, Whether I feel His presence or not, I know He is here, Carrying me in His arms. I am weary and stretched, But He gives me strength For each new day. If I am to know Him, I must share in His sufferings. Who better to share with Than my Most High God? He knows me more intimately Than any other. He is the only one who can heal me. I will press on And fix my eyes to the goal. No matter what happens around me, Though all my friends fail Or abandon me, I'll keep my eyes on the prize For He never fails, Nor will He leave me!

My Cloudy Days, Part 2

The one thing I was sure of. The one thing I knew. It too seems far away, Lost in my cloudy days. Then I wonder, How? How can I be this? Lord, You were mistaken When You called me! I don't meet the standards. I won't measure up! I should just forget it. I'll attempt something else. When will the clouds pass away? When will my night turn to day? I know He cares, And I do trust Him. But it's hard to wait, It's hard to hope When you don't see any light. My eyes are dry, But the tears still come. When will it end? When will the valley be over? With each cloudy day, My heart hardens more. I don't want to love. I don't want to care! I've given myself before, I gave too much....

My Cloudy Days, Part 1

A dark cloud covers me. The sun may be shining, But all I see is rain. I pray for relief. I beg for freedom. I know He hears me, But the answer never comes. The cloud continues to darken my soul. My joy has left me. I feel only sadness. I feel only darkness. Sometimes, I feel nothing. My life is passing quickly, And I am missing out. I call out for it to stop. I pray for slower days. But it continues to fly by, Quicker each day. I do my duties. I continue each day. I put on a mask, And cover my pain. Everything has become monotonous! God doesn't answer, So I stop asking. I know it's me. I know I should try harder... But why? Life seems pointless.
