Leaving it in Your Hands

Leaving it in Your Hands

 

Fumbling in the dark,

Arms stretched out to brace.

My eyes behold only a tiny spark

Of what it takes.

 

Lord, there is so much I don’t understand

About why certain things happen.

But I’m leaving it in Your hands

To mold and mend.

 

The darkness so black,

It’s almost impossible to look ahead.

My dreams seem to attack

The very thoughts in my head.

 

Help me to withstand

The limitations life has set before me.

I’m leaving it in Your hands,

My God who has ransomed me to Thee.

 

My hands stretched high,

I worship You, my King.

Be in charge of my life

In everything.

 

Speak over me,

So I may rise and stand.

In You I succeed,

So I’m leaving it in Your hands.

Accepting the struggles we endure and realizing later, sometimes much later, that if this bad thing happened, later the reason will be clear as to why. Trusting a higher power has everything under control. We needn't be upset or try to correct something that will work out to our advantage if we just wait and trust. Then it all makes sense. We are glad for the trouble we had before. Without that screw up we would never know how much better our lives became months later. You captured this well. trusting knowing God knows better than we do.

This is truly wonderful. It's an apt portrayal of the battle between knowing that we should trust in God and struggling to have the faith to do so. It can be really hard to put things in God's hands, especially when faced with horrible situations. But I love how you acknowledge that in this poem and still have the courage to trust in Him. The purity and heartfelt nature of your writing is beautiful. Excellent work!

I love how this is like a hymn. It is just so peaceful and optimistic. Have you ever considered writing a lyrical poem?
