Their days of labor are filled with pain and grief; even at night their minds cannot rest (Ecclesiastes 2:23; NLT).
Lord,
I cannot rest, or pray,
Because my mind
Is full of dread.
Nor do I have inner peace –
For I am ruled
By fear, instead.
Lord,
I cannot work, or sleep.
My heart is overwhelmed
By stress.
I eat for comfort; have bad dreams –
Because I’m living
In distress.
Lord,
I cannot sense your presence,
For my soul
Is dulled by pain.
I see no light; I hear no voice –
So I must walk by faith
Again.
If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God (Isaiah 50:10; NLT).
We walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7; NKJV).
