Happy Saturday!!!

Hello, hello, hello, and Happy Saturday! I usually don’t post anything on Saturday’s but thought, why not? When an inspiration arises, why not embrace it, right?

I hope you are well and are energized for this weekend!  Wherever you are, I hope you have what you need.  I have heard from several people, especially people in Africa that they are lacking in food and supplies due to the lockdown and not being able to work, and my heart goes out to those in need.  May God have mercy, and may this virus end soon. 

Today’s Poem

Today’s poem centres around one of my depressive states.  I have gone through many, but this one was probably the worst and lasted the longest. Truly, I don’t even like to think about it because I don’t ever want it to happen again; it scares me just at the thought! I hope and pray that depression like this never takes over again.

If you have ever suffered from a debilitating sort of depression then you know exactly what I mean. If not, maybe this poem can shed some understanding on what it is like to be overcome by this condition. 

When Hell Cried Out 

I cried out to God within my sorrow

He felt far away

Nowhere to be found

Anger arose throughout my entire being

Doubt filled my thoughts of His love for me

Rejection threatened my heart and soul

Cursings encapsulated my mind as I prayed to Him

I kept crying out to God in the nighttime hours

When morning came I dreaded the new day ahead

For morning became too much to bear

Somehow, I thought God had overlooked my sorrow

Somehow, I thought God had forgotten to take me home

As I prayed to Him

Evil kept entering in

Curses followed my praises

Uncontrollable curses

I felt a barrier between God and me

I even cursed the curses

Yet they would not cease

Months passed by as I prayed, with no relief

Hell cried out to me, and I accepted her voice

Since Hell is what I knew I deserved

Arising from my bed became nearly impossible

Fear encompassed me on every side

Where was God now?

God still shone within the darkness of my soul

He never left me amidst the coldness of my being

He never forsook His promises or cursed me, despite my curses 

He only rejoiced when I finally embraced Him once again

Until next time, stay safe, and be blessed! 🙂
