Through Our Words

Thoughts waging war upon this tortured soul
I want to be thankful, I long to have hope
But some days the darkness won’t seem to end
My eyes are bone dry, my faith feels thin

Send forth Your truth to cut through the attack
Remind me I’m Yours and I never will lack
Your unfailing love, compassion, and grace
Keep me here kneeling and seeking Your face

When each step is pain,
Despair overwhelming
Remind me that
You are the God who sees
Somehow You’ll work this all out
For my good
And Your ultimate glory—
You promised You would

Lord, find me waiting
For wisdom I plead
Give me Your courage
Your perfect peace • Savannah Coleman

• Have you ever felt like the author of this poem? We all go through seasons in our lives when the mental or physical pain feels beyond what we are capable of enduring. When oppressive thoughts threaten to overwhelm us, we can be honest with God. Jesus knows firsthand the pain we’re facing, and as His followers we can ask Him for help whenever we need it.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV)
