Tired thoughts; scattered dust drifting in the air;
Denied a refuge from life’s ragged edge;
White knuckled in the now; possibilities nowhere!
Time’s pounding beat battering sledge;
Constant pain; relentless torturer doesn’t care!
Relationship split by prideful wedge;
Everyone’s looking for something! Life isn’t fair!
Confusion leaves truth on sanity’s edge;
Stress and exhaustion coupled; an untenable pair;
Life on the horizontal, without any hedge!
No purpose or hope; I want to pull out my hair!
Past isn’t pretty! Bury sins; Don’t dredge!
Ignore deep damage; but baste the outer tear;
Feigning courage as I totter on the ledge!
Don’t look below! Now, come down from there!
Look up! I Am here! Wisdom, Knowledge!
Faith! The vertical perspective! Delivering prayer!
Jesus is my refuge from the ragged edge;
He is my joy; He lovingly mends my every care;
By Grace He removed sin’s dividing wedge,
At the cross, vertical met horizontal; it was there
I found life, love, hope; My Protector’s hedge!
My worried head cradled; He counts my every hair!
joyindestructible 
Ohh if we could but always know how much we find rest, love, grace, deliverance, and joy in His strong arms.

We get too focused on our problems and the hopelessness in the world but when we do remember to look up to Him, we find answers and solutions. Thanks for reading and commenting.

A good relationship, shared, I see, one of growth and care, tested yet prevailing. Nice.
