At Your Mercy
Fears and doubts today surround me
Endless questions I can’t comprehend
Darkened path, my eyes cannot see
Mind running wild as logic ends
These all I lay at the mercy of Your feet
My restless heart, my wavering faith
My rivers of tears and gnashing teeth
Your gift of love and wisdom, I will wait

You’re kind words never fail to make me feel better, Stella. Thank you very much. Indeed, we have tasted such bitterness a lot of times yet His mercy and love remains through it all.
P.S. Been gone for days. Will be dropping to catch up reading yours. ❤

Aww, your the sweetest Stella. I am physically fine, it’s just that work happens. Emotionally, I am devastated with the world news.
But all is well and thank you so much for the prayers. Let’s pray for this ill-gotten lovely world. ❤

Work happens, yes–and emotional devastation can be worse than physical illness, I’ve found. God be very near to you, sweetheart, as you lean into Him and to your loved ones. xxoo, stella
