My heart cries out in anxious, bitter tears,
Sorrow known to none but God alone.
There, unashamed, I pour my soul
Out upon the ground to Him
Who sees, and knows, and cares.
Await His answer….
Silence greets me.
Then softly,
“Peace, be
Still.”
Psalm 28:1 Unto Thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
Written in response to Kate Motaung’s Five-Minute Friday Link-up: Silence

This is lovely, Angela! Sometimes we don’t need God’s words so much as we need just to know his presence with us. Visiting from FMF #33.

Thanks. They don’t all come this easily. I’ve been agonizing over a poem about chocolate for days. 🙂
