YESHUA

Helplessly I’m trying
to pick me up again
I call upon my Savior
to eradicate my sin
My heart aches & I’m lonely
These walls are closing in
I’m close to suffocating
I can’t live in my own skin
This pain, I cannot bear it
I’m swelled up with agony
I’m tired & I can’t hide it
A whole mess of anxiety
Oh my Healer, don’t You love me?
Save me from my misery
Take my last breath, take me home now
Wrap your loving arms ‘round me
But You steady & You strengthen
You’re the One who draws me near
You’re my rock & You’re my anchor
Your loves too good to leave me here
Breathe on my life & I’ll follow
Ever knowing on the throne
Thank You Jesus, Thank You Father
For my hope’s in You alone.

Not my typical writing style or flow & this is the first time I’ve written anything from my faith. But it was on my heart & the spirit told me to just share the raw unedited version. Thank You, Jesus for being our Great Comforter.

Your words are so raw and honest and humble. Your writing flows so well that I forgot that this was a poem on a writing site for a moment.

Some beautiful sentiments - "I’m close to suffocating, I can’t live in my own skin." and "Oh my Healer, don’t You love me?." How many times have we panicked because we felt that God had abandoned us?!

If I may, I would like to share a scripture that means so much to me? I suffer from severe depression and I have been close to the end. But God's comforting words have brought me back so often:

"Whatever our hearts may condemn us in, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things."

Lovely writing.

I wish you "The peace of God that excels all thought."

Moomin- I don’t know if this will tag you and you’ll receive it but I wanted to say sorry I just saw this. I’m not on my phone much. I appreciate your words SO deeply. That verse is a great comfort. Thank you so much.

Lizzy isn't it? I revisited and reread some older works and found your comment - again. Decided to see if you stayed the course and maybe returned. Hi again. How are you holding up?
