A word for the discouraged

Through out time God has watched

And listened to his children as they

Came to him with tear streaked faces

And questioning eyes.

He has watched sadly and sometimes

Quietly as they left his presence

With heavy hearts and shoulders slumped

Thinking he hadn’t heard their petitions.

He has closed his eyes in quiet pain

As yet another whispered why Lord?

Why? Reached his ear.  He’s listened sadly

To the cries of when? Lord when will it all end?

The night has been long and hard.

The enemy has used the covering of darkness

To bring confusion fear, anger and depression.

In the darkness it seems as if you have nothing.

In the darkness it is easy to doubt God.

It is human to doubt in the darkness because

With the physical eyes you can’t see any way out.

But God has seen, He’s listened and now

He’s saying to someone, Morning has broken.

He is saying I am with you even in the darkness.

When all seem bleak I am here.  I will never leave you

Nor forsake you.  Trust in me my child.  Morning has broken.

Trusting Him,
~Bernadine~
