I write this to you this day,
expressing how I’m feeling.
It seems no matter how hard I try to hold on,
I keep slipping into the darkness.
I thought my depression was far behind me,
I pray to God each day to continue on,
but just as I’m climbing
and making some type of progress,
I find myself slipping
even further into the darkness.
I know that God tells me
in my weakness He is most strong,
so I keeping hoping and praying
for the strength to carry on.
I also know from the word of God
that He shall supply all my needs,
but the need for joy and peace in my life
right now seems too sad and too crazy.
I also know from God’s word
that even though I may walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I should fear no evil, because God is with me. But in the
deep dark sunless valley,
death keeps calling out to me,
trying to keep me from the light.
I am so very tired and feeling so alone,
I keep calling out to Jesus,
but I’m thinking He’s not at home.
I want to be like Abraham,
and fear not when it comes to God’s love,
but this struggle that I’m going through
is just too darn hard.
I’m asking you to pray
that I continue to keep holding on,
because on the Hem of God’s Garment,
is all that keeps me carrying on.
