My Help and My Hope
(I wrote on 10/30/11)
I have an affliction
that threatens my mind.
It is a condition
that hasn’t been kind.
It’s brought much confusion,
heartache, and pain.
It’s tortured & taunted me
time and again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yet, I have a Savior
Who won’t let me go.
He shields and protects me;
He does love me so.
He’s given such grace,
‘Tis sufficient for me.
His strength is so perfect
and ever will be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Though I seek total healing,
I find no such cure.
But, He’ll always be with me;
of this, I am sure.

P.S. God just gave me this verse, so I thought I’d share:
“I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him…” ~Lamentations 3:19-25
