the cloak of darkness is a deeper black
squint or strain, my soul’s eyes can’t penetrate
recesses fill with regrets of my past
so distracting that I can’t concentrate
worry and dread act as partners tonight
working as one to cloud my tomorrow
removing my joy and my zest for life
turning up, down, and smiles to sorrow
i seek peace through intellect and effort
exploring my thoughts for any way out
searching for answers but finding no comfort
confidence and faith yield humbly to doubt
down on my knees, cry in anguish to Him
light overtakes me, His peace rushes in
“Look to Me, and be saved . . .” —Isaiah 45:22
Our difficulties, our trials, and our worries about tomorrow all vanish when we look to God. Build your hope on Him. No matter how many things seem to be pressing in on you, be determined to push them aside and look to Him. “Look to Me . . . .” Salvation is yours the moment you look.
