I Call

I call out to You

Yet You don’t seem to answer

I cry out Your name

Yet You don’t listen

I scream up to You

Yet You don’t seem to hear me



My Plea



“If You are my hope,

Why do I feel hopeless?

If You are my strength,

Then why do I feel weak?

If You are holding me,

Why do you feel so far away?”



Finally



In silence I collapse,

Bruised,

Broken,

Hurting.

The rock I once stood on

Has turned to quicksand

And I have no more strength to fight



And in the silence I hear

A whisper in the breeze

I feel You

And You tell me to wait

To rest

To trust.

Wrote this a while ago when I was struggling. Sometimes we have to break down before we can be built up again. . .

That is soo true sweetie, we do all have to break down from time to time, knowing that it will get better, but it doesn't make the breaking any easier on us now does it.

"I call out to You Yet You don’t seem to answer I cry out Your name Yet You don’t listen I scream up to You Yet You don’t seem to hear me" see the roof never answers lol this is good shows how everyone feels like god has left at some point in their life and how we all lose faith for even that tiny bit of time. and i love how you show the fatc that when we lose that faith, we think there is no way out of it and that god has left us coz if he is our hope and we don't have hope he has to be gone. when he really isn't its more like u don't want to let him give u hope and won't see the things he sends for hope. and at the end he comes back (so u think but its more like you let him back and stop being blind) an so are the days of our lives (no vciki gots me doin soap quotes HELP!) great poem ash
