novena

04/2013

When I am forsaken and taken away from all that I love. When the ones I hold dear are torn from my grasp and I am left behind walls of utter shame. Even when sheer desolation grows over my windows to the world and leaves me blind and breathless. I will seek You.

While the night still precedes the dawn, I will reach out to Your outstretched hand. I will fall into Your arms, letting Your healing energy wash over my infinite sadness. I will let go of the helm. 

I will raise my awareness to You. Allowing Your radiance to direct and guide my ship around the reefs placed to sink and drown me in trepidation.

I want You to be the final authority. Become the forecaster of my future and the rehabilitation for my sickness. Lead me out of my afflictions and into the serenity of Your convalescence.

Let it be known that Your presence is as meat to my bones and that Your blood has cleansed me of my nefariousness. You are the peacemaker of my troubled spirit. The mediator between me and the very face of evil.

Your faithfulness has captivated me. Your loyalty is unmatched and I will speak of Your mercy and of Your charity. Of Your allegiance and constancy. Truly You are the lover of my soul. I will sing of You in the streets and the roadways. I will shout aloud Your praise from the rooftops. 

When asked how I can still smile I will say that there is no heart too broken that Your comfort cannot mend. No darkness is too dark where Your light will not shine.

This was an amazing poem. Like all of the other ones I have read by you. I really loved the flow of the poem. I can feel the hope in this poem as well. I know that life is hard, but you can always turn to God. God will He will always be with you. That is what I got from this poem. Thank you for sharing, love.

I really liked some of the words you used, like convalesence, nefariousness, trepidation, lovely words.
It's brimming with light and hope :)
