A prayer for my doubtful heart:
Waves crashing over me,
I can’t breathe. Oh Lord, I can’t breathe.
The worries, they consume me. The anxiety overwhelms. Lord I can’t see you as the waves
CRASH
and CRASH again over my head.
I need to see your presence, a brief glimpse of a comforting smile. A puzzle piece to the bigger picture of your plan. A clue to your love for me.
My faith is shaking,
tumbling,
crumbling over the power of the cornerstone.
I feel like I am falling, falling, falling,
CAUGHT
in the net of your hand, in the crevice of your heart.
Peeking from the shore, you scream, “OPEN YOUR EYES!”
With the sound of a smile on your lips saying “I AM HERE,
I AM HERE,
You will not drown for
I AM HERE.”
To battle the waves for you. To rebuild the walls. To paint the picture you most need to see.
I AM HERE.
To love you more.
And suddenly, like the calm after a storm,
my heart beats,
my lungs fill,
AND I BREATHE.
I take in your spirit into my soul. I grasp tight to your power and strength. Peace I must desperately hold on to like a person swinging over a dark chasm.
i cling to you.
And just as my hands begin to sweat, to slip,
I”M CAUGHT
i’m caught in the net of your hand, in the crevice of your heart.
From your presence I cannot be stolen for you are here,
YOU ARE HERE,
YOU ARE HERE.
