I can not handle this life
I can't take it anymore
I find it hard to go
about my mundane chores
When it is time to sleep
I lay awake
When it is time to eat
I stare at a full plate
My thoughts are not formed
just jumbles and nonsense
At home with my family
I shut away, I'm always tense
Resisting love, resisting conversation
Resisting encouragement, and all communication
My mind is broken and my spirit is dead
In the midnight hour I cry, its been said
My son says he comforts me in the night
he comes to hold me, hugging me tight
These moments I do not recall
Why, I am not there, no feeling at all
My heart is crying heal me
Heal my broken mind
Save me from this prison
I have served my time
Who can save me
Who will reach out
Is there anyone who hears
My crying heart
One night as I lay very still
Tears running back into my ears
Enormous hands scooped me up and
Rocked as a child of early years
Sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh
You don't have to weep, I have heard your cry
Sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh
You must turn to me for your supply
I will give you rest
I will give you joy
I will lift you up
You will not be destroyed
You mind is changing
For I am saving you
There is so much
That you will yet do

This is so encouraging, to hear of your encounter with God when you were in the depths. I too heard God speak "Peace, be still!". In fact it was a shout of commad, and the winds and waves have never caused that same fear in me since.
