In The Darkness

In the darkness

In the restlessness of life

You, my God, are there with us

All we need to see and focus on is Jesus

And yet our minds run a thousand different directions

As to how we can escape the darkness on our own

Try and try as we may we can’t do it

It is only when we surrender the darkness to the Lord

Whatever the darkness maybe

For me it was the years of torment as the memories of abuse

Flood my mind both day and night

There was no rest in sight

For when I would close my eyes in the night

Flashbacks would continue to bombard me

I felt no peace and the tears seem to never end

But then God intervened as I cried out to HIM

Yes, it was at that time I began to see HE had not left me

And was not going to leave me in the state I was in

Today, I look back and though I can feel sadness at those events

I am grateful that I went through it because I would not know the LORD

The way I do without that time in the darkness in my life.

I praise THE LORD for He has and is my REFUGE in the storm.
