Life happens...
Tired. Empty.
Beaten. Broken.
Pessimistic--
I have spoken.
Pure in heart,
once was I.
Cynical now,
spiritually dry.
Prayerful. Pleading.
Hope, so needing.
In faith, walking,
Blind-folded, bleeding.

If you’re feeling this way right now, I have a few thoughts for you. 1) I get it. I’ve been there… several times. 2) It has been thirteen years since I wrote this poem and now, I have forgotten what triggered it, ha-ha! 3) “This too shall pass” is a saying I learned from my father. Those words are comforting as well as true.
I’m not “spiritually dry” anymore. However, I’m still “in faith, walking,” putting one foot in front of the other, while not knowing exactly what’s ahead. Isn’t that always true for all of us? Yet, we know the Lord goes with us and will comfort, lead, and light the way forward.
