Poetry

If I could;
If I had a clear enough connection;
If I knew exactly what to pray;
I'd pray it.
But the best I can do
is wait for a word
and pray the prayers
that I know to be effective
in my life - into yours.

No, I don't
know your pain,
but reading about your
"holding on in the unknown"
gets me to the place of
desparate surrender.
And I thank you
for pulling my heart
out to Him.

I will tell you a secret,
you may think it a lie,
but you may just be
in the deepest place already.
This may even be
the best moment in your life,
only seen two years from today.

Those who are
desparate go deeper.
Those who have enough
can choose to stay stuck
and they usually do.

Freedom waits for you.
With all the doors you pound
and the echoes in the empty rooms
of your house,
when opened,
will be filled.

Look at that problem
as an opportunity to experience
the widest ground of freedom possible.
Never explored, now available
through prayer.

You may dip down
but mostly you will rise up
and keep rising.
and I can say most definitely
there is hope.
There IS HOPE!
