I don't claim to have it all together, rather I claim that I hope to recklessly abandon myself to the One who has it all together.
Broken I arrive at your feet, hungering more for Your word. Wet face from broken dreams, endless questionings to You oh Lord...
Fire breathes beneath my soul, stirring me to do something...
And many times I am directionless, confused.
When I fall beneath the grave, I lost everything I was.
Formed identity I cannot find..
Another suffocating depression, the wailings begin.
Oh God, surrender me from beneath the grave into Your glorious light!
Unveil my eyes from this madness so that I may see Your face.
Oh Lord, I am cold, alone..I beg of You to be ever so near my soul--
Wrap me in your arms of mercy and grace, that I might see clearly again!
Pierce my soul with Your hope, Your deliverance.
Day and night I feast on Your word, for it is my only food, my only hope.
To You oh Lord, I give thanks, in all these sufferings.

This is so beautiful and honest and painful to read, my friend. How it can be all those things, I don't know, but it is. I'm sorry you're in a tough place right now. You've often been in my thoughts and prayers lately and you should plan on getting a call from me soon...I've had it in my head to do that and when I get around to it, the kids wake up/start screaming/etc.
Oh, my friend, I am so sorry you're feeling all this pain right now. I'm really glad you made a point of calling today. I'll be checking in with you as the week goes on.
I love this line:
"Unveil my eyes from this madness so that I may see Your face."
What a powerful prayer. God is listening. I'm so glad you know that God is love and that you cling to that.
