Been a while. 18.6.20


Its been a while

Just had to

Check in with you, 

See if you are tired, 

Dear Lord, 'coz I am

Angsty too. 


So many issues

All at one time

Please Lord 

slow down!

I'm just trying

to make sense..

 circumstances

seemingly

assailing me. 

Am trying

No, honestly I am

To chin up

Paste a smile

Pretend I'm tough

But You know the

inside story

Not very pretty....


But, let me try something else

Let's put some faith in action...

Lord, now I'm turning around

To check and see

if Your goodness and mercy

are following me? 


And I'm not surprised

here they are!

Not the way I'd expected

But not far!


So I slow down

Maybe sit a bit

Catch my breath

Rest my wits!

That's if I still have 'em!!


Ok, got You smiling

I can too

Glad You're here

to see me through. 


 My boys

Working out

Sets, squats,

Weights, bands

Muscles ripped

Calloused hands.


Guess my faith's 

Bit like a muscle

Stretch and sweat

Not all pleasant..

Hmm....

can't muscle up

that much faith

Definitely not on my own,

But You've promised

To carry my load!

Seriously? 

All of it? 

You must be kidding..

All my worries, cares and angst? 

It'll be too much for you- won't it

There are so many of us

And only one of You

really don't want to overburden You. 

You, You insist? 

Ok, cool, here it is..


Really feeling lighter

What a relief

All my cares

to lay at Your feet.

And to rest

Here in Your peace. 


And now I see, 

Maybe all this bad stuff

has good written 

in between the lines

There'll be some good

Coming out of this mess

So, I'm going to 

Trust You for the best.

Not struggle and fight

'cause You're

 the scriptwriter

the Author 

of our lives!!
