I LONG FOR CONSISTENCY.
TELL ME, PLEASE, JESUS,
HOW DID I END UP IN THIS VALLEY?
I KNOW I WAS ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW.
I FOLLOWED ALL OF THE SIGNS.
BUT HERE I AM AGAIN,
HURTING AFTER THE BATTLE.
I THINK I MUST HAVE SCRAPED MY KNEES
FALLING INTO THIS VALLEY
BECAUSE I'M BLEEDING.
OR MAYBE IT WAS THAT U TURN I MADE BACK THERE,
TRYING TO ERASE THE PAST FEW DAYS.
I SAW THIS COMING.
YOU WARNED ME.
BUT WAS I READY?
WAS I PRAYED UP AS WELL AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN?
THEREIN LIES THE QUESTION.
JESUS, HELP ME, PLEASE
TO STOP DOUBTING THE SIGNS
AND THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE
EVERY TIME
WHISPERING IN MY EAR.
IT'S SO SWEET AND DEAR.
AND THROUGH THESE REALLY BAD TIMES
IN THIS VALLEY I SUDDENLY SEEM
TO HAVE BEEN FOUND,
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE SECOND
THAT I HAVEN'T FELT YOU NEAR ME,
HOLDING MY HAND.
AND THE JOYFUL MOMENTS
THAT MADE ME WEEP?
THERE YOU WERE AGAIN.
WHY HAVE YOU NOT YET GIVEN UP ON ME?
I AM SUCH A MESS.
ON THE ONE HAND I WISH TO REJOICE,
BECAUSE SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN PRAYING
FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER
IS STARTING TO HAPPEN;
I CAN SEE THE BEGINNING.
THEN, AGAIN, I KNOW YOU SEE THE SORROW,
THE SHATTERING.
THANK YOU, JESUS,
FOR BEING MY UMBRELLA
AND FOR NEVER ALLOWING ME TO DROWN
WHEN I'VE FELT SO ALONE.
PHILIPPIANS 4:14
REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN:
REJOICE!
