THE STORM

life

I gotta hurricane of problems flowing through my mind like a tsunami flooding the very depth of my heart, body and soul. A typhoon of recurring events that steady circle my world like a tornado on an open plain I feel deserted and alone. No one to cry out to for help just me and my abyss of helplessness. The storms of life are encamping around my being and like a heavy fog I see no way out. As my fist pound the earthquakes under me I ask the question over and over again why me? Where’s my shelter from this storm? Why does it feel as if my past failures and mistakes are raining heavy upon my life the force of nature weighing down upon me like deep waves of the sea I’m trying to surf board these feelings of emptiness that life’s storm has presented before me. Through my tears and fears of wondering if the sun will ever shine in my life a small voice speaks out at first so faint I strain my ear to hear God say, “you are not by yourself I am here though it feels as if I’m not near but this storm is to test how well you are able to stand as the winds blow and beat upon the walls of your soul. I am making you to stand against human nature and unseen things that come to knock down the shelter that you build with your own hands and not the hands of the one that created and breathe the very breath that you inhale and exhale. While on this boat have you ever thought about stepping out and taking my hand and letting me lead and guide you through my Precious plan? No you looked at the storm as a rejection instead of a redirection back on the path that was paved out for you you were feeling deep and blue letting gloom twist your thoughts into doubts of abandonment. So you see my child storms are not just meant for tearing down but for building up. Tears may flood your eyes and thoughts may flash like lightning across your mind but I God am here waiting for you to cast your burdens over unto Me.”
