Psalm 55-and-a-half

This dark tunnel's getting scarier, Lord

Scary monster faces

around every corner

new issues,

new heartaches

slow down this ride!

what? no pause button?

I'm scared, Jesus

Lock my doors.

Keep me safe inside.

Do I really have to go there?

Like a scary roller coaster

in the dark

Can I jump out of this train?

off the rails?

Is there a reverse?

No rewind button, girl...

too much grief.

need an escape.

mental escape.

laughter, even fake

helps distract

bullets hit from every side

bleeding heart like suicide

Lord i'm dangerous

because i'm honest

yet...

"You desire truth in the inward parts".. Ps. 51:6

 

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart- these, O God, you will not despise." Ps. 51:17

"My heart is severely pained within me. And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

fearfulness and trembling have come upon me.

..horror has overwhelmed me.

And I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! For then I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would

wander far off, and remain in the

wilderness."

Ps. 55:4-7

 

 

 

"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You." Ps.56:3-4

"You number my wanderings. Put my tears into Your bottle. Are they not in your book?"

Ps. 56:8

 

"Be merciful to me, O God,

be merciful to me;

For my soul trusts in You.

And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge.

Until these calamities have passed by."

 

Thank you, Lord, for this comfort in your word.

Amen.
