Description

As I discovered putting pen to paper to get my painful thoughts out of my head, I found a joy in what I read. The option of looking at how I felt on the page was amazingly refreshing. Maybe you could try it yourself.
This is not froth and bubbles, not even the cream. These deep yearnings are the pain of emotional turmoil and emotional growing pains. Not to disappoint there are flickers of sunshine in there but a lot is drama, drama, drama and then some night mares. I say it was my hospital for a season of life.

Author recommendation: I have an Author friend whose book has similar themes to these verses. You may enjoy her story under the title One Blue Suitcase, by Marjory Almina.
Desperate
I am so desperate for You, my Lord. I feel I have come undone.
The only thing I understand, is that You are with me through this painful time.
I cry,
I scream,
I yell.
I even shout at You! I can not do this Lord!
I’ve Tried All the Do’s.
Do this, say that; I cry.
Get a hold of yourself girl, believe the Word!
Believe the truth!
The truth of the Word is what will happen.
Yeah. Good one. Sorry but,
What do I do in the meantime?
To get through each day!
Heavenly Father I need Your help.
It’s seeming I can’t help myself. Nothing works.
You’re the only option.
You must do a supernatural work.
There is no other way.
I am not strong enough to fight this battle.
This is Your battle, Lord; all I can do is try to hang in there.
I choose You Jesus, Help me!
 
Alas He has heard my CRY!
Oh, my Lord! Precious peace of mind.
Thank You for Your Supernatural Work!
That worked on my pain, yes it did!
 
Desperate 180
Yes, You have heard my desperate cries.
For weeks my heart has been hurting, on and off during each day.
Thank you! I can not thank You enough.
 
My only chance was if you did a supernatural work, with my mind and my heart.
Oh, precious peace that comes from no other.
You, Holy Spirit.
You, oh Lord.
You, my Father.
Thank You for Your power over all types of pain,
Yes ‘all’ types of pain.
Peace is my reward, just for asking for help.
Relief, Rest, Sigh.
The Peace Will Come
After a long struggle I came to realise, I certainly could not have moved on without help. You can think me weak if you want to, but I choose to call myself wise. My choices of support contributed to my success. Going it alone didn’t cut it. I tried that many times. It only caused me to start the stinking thinking. Not only that, it gets worse with that option. I say support and a network of it. Thank the Creator of us all for showing me community. Yep, that’s how our world is supposed to function. That’s when the true peace will come.

That’s It
I can not fix this.
It’s out of my hands.
I can not compete against the world and what it entices people with.
There are way too many self pleasing options to satisfy Him.
There is nothing I in my own strength, can do.
I’ve always been able to find a way in the past to achieve what I felt necessary.
Oh No! Not this time. No not this time.
I, in myself, am no match for this fight.
It’s a joke for me to even think of trying.
I’ll have you know I’ve never been a quitter in my life!
Yet I do have a bit of wisdom to realise when I’ve been whipped.
This is it. I resolve to quit.
Yes, I quit. I quit OK.
I said, I quit! I have no more agendas.
I have no more ideas.
It’s over, that’s it, I quit.
You Fix it Lord, “I got nothing.”

Could It Be?
I was sitting on my lounge last afternoon, looking across at a very special person.
I had grown to love deeply over the years.
With the help of my heavenly Father, I’m learning to respect, honour, and praise my special husband even more.
Problem is it may be too late. You see, I had not realised this truth till just recently. I was trying in my own strength,
in my own efforts to love this way, but I had my own selfish ambitions mixed in.
They got in the way, in the form of control, expectations.
Now with this new truth, I desperately wanted to love him better.
He is not of the same beliefs. He is not allowing me to pour out this love on him. Could it be, this is how our Heavenly Father feels.
With so much love to give, and no one out there allowing Him to love them?
Not a good feeling. It hurts alot! I don’t like this feeling.
Father Help us all to understand. You only have our best interest at heart.
You will give us the most exciting life.
Full of challenges, that will give us a sense of purpose and achievement.
You, Lord, are the ultimate Creator.
We will never be bored, living your creative plan for our life.
Spirit of Truth enlighten our hearts I pray.
We must have Your help. We cannot live true love, any other way.
