The truth 29.3.2026

 The truth 29.3.2026 Why is my mind restless? Why are my eyes brimming with tears? Why is my soul racked with anguish? Nameless haunting hounding fears.. They wake me up with a pounding heart And no matter what Bible verses I quote The terror inside me grows louder  My heart cries, I am smote.. This ailment gives me amnesia Keeps a vice like grip on my throat Can't remember past blessings  Can't see through the lies and smoke.. Can't push through the fog  My being is weak and listless  ‘Help Lord, I need You The dark demons are madness.. Breathe, deep precious draughts of life Calm down the amygdala, the freeze, fright, fight, flight.. I've been here before On these roiling fierce shores.. This too will pass My Saviour is here He holds me close  He is present, He is near.. This snare of death  This arrow of venom His favor shields me He paid the ransom.. I am held close He loves me,  I am His own His treasured masterpiece.. He fights for me He wil...

The parents

 The parents…15.10.2025 They couldn't believe their eyes They couldn't believe their ears This was a nightmare  Their worst fears.. Their innocent daughter  The one who seemed so pure  The one who was beautiful  And now there was no cure.. They stood together  Parents of a tainted daughter  Her body didn't lie She told them a story..that held no water.. But in the dark of the night  When sleep was elusive  They repeatedly echoed her story And wanted to believe.. The wind rustled in the trees Over their humble home And the words of the ancient prophet  ‘ and a virgin will bear a son.. Could their Mary be the chosen? She was filling out fast And the neighborhood was busy  The grape wine was abuzz But Mary..stood firm in her story Gabriel had visited her… Their hearts beat fast Her betrothal was at stake Joseph needed to know He was a carpenter  This engagement needed to break… But when Joseph was told They had to hold each other ...

sacred space. 26.2.2025

 A sacred space. 26.2.2025 There is a sacred space To which I can retreat  A fortress, a hiding place When the waves  Threaten to overwhelm  The throne of grace.. There is peace That passes understanding  That transcends my limited beliefs That washes over me Soothing and restoring  Helping me heal.. A prayer away  Especially when the battle rages Strongholds of fear and dismay Of fear, awry thinking fall and fade Drawing on the source, I stay My heart and spirit are encouraged.. His Shalom Suffusing, enveloping  Never leaving me alone Holding me through the fire and flood Strengthening my inner man The Spirit hearing my wordless groans.. He welcomes us in Love unconditional  This life meant to live in Him Abundantly, in dependence Abiding in the true Vine Peace found within.. Lisa Choudhrie

Crazy mind.. 11.1.2025

 Crazy mind.. 11.1.2025 It kind of fits in The lost piece of the puzzle The missing link..  Those sunny good days Razzle dazzle with energy  Creativity in the kitchen Be a go getter Goal setter, challenges all the better And then the grey days When the mood is low And fatigue and weariness Settle deep in my soul..  And my best friend Madam anxiety Manipulative scheming Watches me freeze, get paralyzed She sits back beaming..  And then my highly sensitive persona Picking up moods and feelings All the monkeys, all MY circus Everyone and everything sends me reeling..  The deep dank dark pit of blackness Where there is no escape Hold my head and rock myself Despair sorrow my dark drape..  Who understands?  Is there anyone who cares?  Who am I?  The darkness, the brightness, the paralysis stare..  Auras migraines Too much going on What is happening?  Who can hold me on?  The God who sees Who knows my name Who understands pain a...

For 2025, doubt and faith 31.12.2024

 For 2025, doubt and faith 31.12.2024 From the old to the new But will anything really change When tomorrow is through?  The sun will rise,  The sun will set And the day will be over We'll soon forget..  But the One Who will never change Has tomorrow With all its share of  Joys and sorrows..  The calendar page will turn The hour glass will be upended He holds the future In all its moments..  Will there be weeping Anguish in the soul Jesus will help us bear it All our deep dark black holes..  Will I be there?  Hold myself together?  I so wish My mind fickle as the weather..  Jesus, my brother Don't ever let me go I'm drowning, save me Hold me close..  Lisa Choudhrie

Exchange places 31.12.2024

 Exchange places 31.12.2024 Do you want to exchange places with me?  Just for a minute, feel the rush of anxiety..  The racing, careening, endless repetitions Of the events and the conversations..  The conflicts and the adrenaline rush of fear No, Sir, you wouldn't want to come here..  Thudding heart, knot in my chest Tidal wave of chaos, unruly, unkempt Locked away, far from reality Surrounded by wild tempestuous seas..  This is anxiety Mental paralysis Bringing me to my knees Help me dear God, please..  Worst case scenarios The what it's and now this is what will happen And I can't control anyone I give up, and bow down..  Breathe in, box breaths EMDR, CBT they all help Bible verses too Combating lies with the truth..  And through it all Jesus has it all He understands Because He became a man..  You are my strong foundation You are my Salvation You are my Deliverer My High Tower..  I am weak, He is strong He will see me through th...

 Living water 19.11.2024 Wonder what she was thinking As she hurried with her water pot In the heat of the day?  Resignation at her fate That people snickered and gossiped And passed rude comments along the way?  She had no inkling what lay in store No premonition that change was coming Her life and many more..  Wonder what He thought as He waited by the well?  He knew He was on a special assignment He moved as His Father said..  Did He, may I presume, Holy God That You identified with her?  Those barbs and cruel remarks His mother, His birth,  A Child's puzzlement at sneers..  So they met And had a heart to Heart,  Outcaste tainted lady And a Savior  Who had loved her from the start..  She must have been beautiful In her heydays Those eyes, her gait, that expression Now ravaged by age and rejection And she met an unwavering gaze..  They had a strange conversation Deep meaningful and revealing A heart thirsty for true love...
