Deeper love then I realized
A vast crevice opened up today
In weakness, by it, I was seized
And I do not know what to pray.
Gripped in the clutches of pain
A weight upon my chest
I wonder what there is to gain
Even if I am doing my best.
The cavern seems to be more
Then it seems on the outside
Somewhere there must be a core
Sadly, it continues to divide.
Outwardly, a person, a shell
Drained of purpose
As the darkness fell
Am I just dross?
How can my heart beat still
When half of it is gone
And the rest is in heaven’s thrill
Where it belongs.
Grey is the sky today
Black is the storm, as it strains
Where peace is lost in the battle’s fray
As a small white dove drenched in rain.
Once hope was a friend
Visiting each day and night
And on grace I could depend
But now catching a glimpse of them is a fight
I fall upon my face
Unrest swirling all around
Ahead I am reaching for a silhouette of grace
There’s a small glimpse of it as I hit the ground.
“God, can I be done?
This is too hard
I can no longer run
Or the rest of my heart rationally guard.”
“Oh, Abba Father, where are you
Do you care about my grief
And what about the tears that ensue,
What of those, are they relief?”
Empty is my hand
Stolen is the warm embrace
I cannot stand
I am seeking your face.
I need you Lord
Wisdom is just a haze
Speak to me, just a word
And stand beside me all my days.
Protect me from lies
Provide for what I need
Please embrace.when my heart cries
And help me plant a seed.
Wendy, I don’t have words that suffice…Lifting you up right now to the One who can comfort with His Presence. Dear Mighty God, our Comforter, our Rock of Hope, Our Provider, I cry out to You to provide someone to physically walk closely beside Wendy, someone whose heart rests in You, LORD, and who sees Wendy, right where she is, sees when to sit with in silence, when to hug, when to listen, when to speak encouragement and hope into her soul. Thank you Father God, Jehovah Jireh, Immanuel for holding Wendy, for carrying her. In Jesus Name Amen.

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
