Rest in His Light
(Date created: 5/4/2018)
With a burdened heart, I lie in bed
A soft pillow underneath my head
A night alone with my thoughts
Whilst the world is asleep
I find myself opening up to God again
These real emotions that I keep
Mixed and uncontrolled as they are
They resurface...They stay...
And each and every time they do..
I hide them away...
Recalled darkness...
Reopened wounds...
Unexplainable sadness...
What of this?! Why? Again?
I roll to my side
Just as the tears on my face glide
In hushed tones, I present my pain to the Lord
Father, I know You hear me as I cry
Please make it stop...
The thoughts.. The memories..
Recollection of the bad in the past..
I cannot take this sadness...
To You, I admit my weakness...
My poor heart that clenches each time..
And when it does, I don't feel fine...
Please make it stop... I know You can.
I can't take anymore.. It hurts too much
So I run to You, our Heavenly Father..
I find myself apologizing to You
I find my heart crying out to You
Father, I allowed myself to go through this pain
No one else but myself to blame
There are simple words that rekindle such dark thoughts..
Simple words which bring up the bad memories..
As I cried out to God with my heart in agony
A peace and warmth engulfs me
A welcoming embrace I so recognize
Thus, I am also reminded
Throughout the bad.. God was with me
May it be past or present or future..
God was with me
He is the reassurance that makes me smile
Just His presence alone is sufficient
Knowing He is present at all times is enough
Knowing He brings the victory each time is enough
His promises build me up
His peace grants me rest
Father, my faith is on You
And forever I am grateful
A content smile.
A breath of relief.
A sigh of happiness.
Another victorious night
For now I rest in Your light.
