Great Are You Lord

One thing I have desired of the Lord,

That will I seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the Lord,

And to inquire in His temple.

Psalm 27:4

LORD,

keep me believing

keep me trusting

keep me hoping

keep my faith seeing . . .

LORD, please,

while I’m in this waiting

just keep me breathing.

Lord, in my anger and in my waiting, keep my faith moving https://wp.me/p9Dhlg-11R @Marcie_Bridges #Depression #Grief #Poetry

GREAT ARE YOU LORD.

My anxious heart turned angry. Angry, I turned away, not able to believe God was listening or caring.

GREAT ARE YOU LORD.

My anger turned to depression. Deep depression, manifested in my inability to sing my favorite songs. Didn’t want to be encouraged. Didn’t even want to hear them at all.

GREAT ARE YOU LORD.

My heart is lonely without You. I cried out for help, and You came running.

GREAT ARE YOU LORD.

You said when we seek You, we will find You. Lord, I’m seeking You with my whole heart. Help me to find my way back to You. Help me to breathe in Your peace and grace.

GREAT ARE YOU LORD.

Thank you for filling me with Your song. Thank You for giving me Your love. Even when my faith is weak, when I’ve grown weary, You remind me I am Your daughter. Thank You for strengthening me, and giving me new hope.

GREAT ARE YOU LORD.

Worthy of glory, and honor, and praise. I will lift up my voice to You and sing, GREAT ARE YOU LORD!

From My Heart to Yours,

Marcie 🙂

I am in a dark place and have been for 8 months. It’s the longest I have gone feeling distant from the Lord. Feeling He is silent; has turned His face from me forever. It’s such a cold, dark, lonely feeling. So tormenting.

Dear Tamera,
I’m so sorry you are in such a dark place. I take spells with it as I have been dealing with a situation in my personal life for several years. I definitely know how you feel in your statement, “Feeling He is silent; has turned His face from me forever. It’s such a cold, dark, lonely feeling. So tormenting.” Indeed, it is, or can be. But I can assure you, even promise you, God is with you. He is there no matter how hard it is to feel or see Him. At these times in life, I eventually get to a place of asking God to reveal Himself to me. To show me He is here and He is listening, caring, and holding me. I have to remember He is a great God and He is bigger than anything I am going through at the moment. Let’s pray together.

Father God, I ask you to be come near to Tamera. Draw her ever close to you. Show her You are there with her and You are fighting for her. Lord, I ask You to remove this darkness from her heart and soul and mind and fill her with every bit of light You are. Fill her with peace Lord. Maybe now isn’t the time for answers, but I ask for Your peace and grace to flood her soul. Thank You for being our strength, help, light, and salvation. Thank You for this precious friend, Tamera. Lord, may she know You better than she ever has before. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

If you would like someone to talk with and pray with, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me either by email or on social media. God bless my friend.
