I'll Meet You Where You Are

A poem about God's willingness to meet you where you are.

When I awoke this morning
I felt abandoned, and alone.
This house, once a haven,
no longer felt like home.
The ghosts of my heartbreak,
lurked in every room
and my memories were all tainted
by a sense of pending doom.
I really need a hero,
with a white hat and white horse.
Someone who will save me,
and who will keep me safe of course.
But I can't seem to discover
just who my hero is,
or when my broken heart will mend
or where I'll find my bliss. 
I wondered to myself, "Am I feeling suicidal?"
In reply I clearly  heard,
"Girl, you better find a Bible".
"What good is a Bible," I asked,
"when I've drifted off so far?" 
"Get on your knees", the voice replied
"I'll meet you where you are."

I knelt and found my hero,
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
He wants to be my savior
and will keep me safe of course.
He will mend my broken heart
and help me find my bliss.
If only, when I am feeling lost,
I'll remember this;
I need never be anxious for anything,
nor ever feel unsafe.
For with prayer and supplication
I can activate my faith.
Remembering if He provides
even for the least,
how much more will He grant to me?
He'll grant me inner peace.
