fighting doubt

Psalm 94:17 “If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.”

to settle or to remain

i’m falling apart
confusion meets doubt
and too much is required

i travail
crying out to You
to no avail
and i wonder
if You still hear me

“if the Lord had not been my help
my soul would soon have settled in silence”

this is where i am

my eyes upon the hills
far too long
awaiting Your help that has not come
and my soul within me
threatens to call no more

like an orphaned child
whose cries have gone unanswered
until it no longer makes a sound

silence stands before me
beckoning

but i don’t want to be alone
i want to see You appear upon the horizon
in the place my eyes have blazed
all this time

Psalm 121:1–2 “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”
