Near

 Lord

I don’t like 

This season 

For the fear

And pain 

Are right 

In my line 

Of sight

The rear view mirror 

Is gone

Is it

Time to

Face the elephant 

I’ve despised 

Since we

Met two

Decades ago

Why are 

The things

Meant to set

You free 

Are so 

Darn odious. 

Lord

I wake up 

Cranky

Like a baby

Who has

Been 

Denied

A bottle

And I 

Go to bed

Unsettled

And my

Only desire 

Is that 

You draw near

 As I battle 

A tumult 

You saw 

Coming

  10. I read these verses in Hebrews and thought of you, "So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." Hebrews 10:35-36- the subsequent verses are all good, too! I hope you're feeling a bit more uplifted and feel some peace and joy.
