hope …is what keeps me alive
The Lord is there to rescue all who are discouraged and have given up hope.
~Psalm 34:18 CEV
Counselor, “Heal Thyself!"
Light-headed, can’t catch my breath, panic-struck,
Triggered, hypervigilant; now I’m stuck . . .
Hap’ning again – signs of PTSD —
Time for this counselor—“practice what you preach!”
. . . A song . . . “God is moving by His Spirit . . .”
Comes to mind—my “right brain” needs to hear it!
God hovers near; shortly, here come the tears.
Panic is broken . . . and so are my fears.
A simple song from a former church life,
The pastor would sing, soothing each of us . . .
Soothing harried hearts to a quiet hush . . . .
I “hear” him sing . . . then . . . here comes the knife—
This man of God too, lost his precious child;
My crying heart cannot be reconciled:
So much suffering here—in our lives on earth—
Losing our children – what’s all this pain worth?
It ravages our lives, renders us weak . . .
My son reminds–That’s when we hear God speak!
The Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief
Ministers to my heart, brings sweet relief . . .
Thank You O God for a way through the pain;
You provide Your light amidst death’s dark bane.
You said, “In this world, you will have trouble.”
(This is so true—I lost my baby girl!)
“But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Your Sweet Spirit lifts me from death’s rubble . . .

**God Is Moving By His Spirit
God is Moving By His Spirit,
Moving o’er all the earth,
Signs and wonders when God moveth,
Move, O Lord, in me.
