Encouraging Words

My heart breaks,
My mind forsakes,
My flesh; it takes
and breaks me down
low to the ground,
and I am found
to be bound and unsound.
As I scream out for help,
I yelp.
like a chained up dog chained too tight
choking the light
bringing the night,
as I lose my sight.
but I see
a hand reaching out for me
telling me to look beyond what my eyes see
and know that he walks with me.
and I am never alone
even when it seems all hope is gone
and the pain cuts deep, to the bone.
Then I hear a voice say
"Rise up and stand with your feet planted firmly,
for if I am for you, who can stand against you."
"Stop worrying about what's going on,
just let me do what needs to be done,
and pray in my name,
The name of The Father, The Holy Spirit,
and The Son."
