“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

John 12:27 (NIV)

So often I think that what we know and what we feel are at war with one another. Even though I know that God is always with me and I know that He works out all things to the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose, I still struggle with anxiety. I can read verse after verse about anxiety in the Bible and yet I’m still plagued by it in dizzying doses. I have briefly written about the life-long sleep disorder that God delivered me from in this last year. When I had that issue I took medication for it. Specifically, I took Clonazepam, a drug that is often used to treat anxiety. In the 20+ years that I took that drug, I had so many problems with doctors who didn’t understand my sleep disorder and thought that I took the medication because of anxiety.

I strike a spark
in the dark,
words aflame,
eliminate shame.

Writing of
things unseen,
as if they were real;
all in all,
a looking glass feel.

Alas, in wonderment,
the words they abound,
binding deep wounds,
when the King
is in town.

of lace and snow,
of love, brought low.

Birds soaring yonder,
are heard to ponder,
the whimsical ways,
of humans, these days.

Love and trust,
given, to
greed and lust.

Forces unseen,
come between,
husband and wife,
riddled with strife.

Lovers forlorn,
too quick to scorn,
for hearts that
are broken, healed
not, by a token.

Such a day,
as today.
Thick skin,
is required, for
romance caught, in
twisty mire.

Yet here I stand,
heart in hand,
believing someone
will hear,
that Hope,
is near.

We’re all broken;
those, God chooses
to do great works.
The ones who know
pain.
It’s Us, the broken
people; shattered
by the world.
Our voices and
compassion. The
scars that say,
“I know. I’ve been there.”
All the shed
tears, heartbreaks,
trauma-
pain.

Us. We the broken
people. Our lives-
We, who confound
the strong with
our courage to go
on. Our burning
need, to never say,
“fail.”
To get back up.
It’s Us. He uses,
because
we,
understand.
