How difficult it is, to see the path,

In the middle of the night,

We fumble to find our way, at times,

To take a step that’s right.

 

And faith can be so challenging then,

To believe, what we can’t see,

To journey through the dark and fear,

In the hopes that we’ll be free.

 

And when we close our eyes and think,

The thoughts and worries may come,

And strip away the beliefs we have,

Until it feels, that there are none.

 

Yet this is where, we need some hope,

To look Above, and to believe,

While letting ourselves, release the pain,

And permitting our hearts, to grieve.

 

For God is in the midst of us,

Even when our thoughts have strayed,

And hope feels like a bitter pill,

Of dreams that were betrayed.

 

Yet in that Grace, we find some strength,

So we shall not be moved,

And spirits rise, to meet the dark,

With faith, in Him, renewed.

 

And all we need to do, my friend,

Is take another step,

And feel the life, within ourselves,

That draws a careful breath.

 

And when we give ourselves the time,

We’ll see that dew upon the lawn,

For God will help, to get us through,

Until the morning dawn.

 

For the times we need to close our eyes, take a breath, and let faith guide our steps…
