“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4
You held me Lord, when life took my strength away.
You whispered words of encouragement when I sat alone.
You taught me the way to peace, rising above my circumstances.
You gave me hope when things were dark and distant.
You sat with me and called my name as I slept and slept and slept.
In my weakness You are strong, and Your very presence strengthens me.
It has been a very long journey, but with You at my side, I fear no evil.
There are no words to sufficiently express my gratitude.
This poem was written during an Art Challenge when we were asked to write a poem about our last 12 month spiritual journey. I had spent the last 12 months home bound with illness. I hope you can relate to, and claim the words, the poem above. God Bless You.
