While going through some old articles I’d written years ago, I found a psalm.

Written by me

A psalm, at its simplest, is a song or poem written for worship. A cry to God. A praise. And many things in between. My psalm was dated November, 2018, a year with many challenges. I thought I’d share this simple verse in case you are going through something difficult in your life…


God, I trust You, but this has been the most difficult year. I struggle to focus on the good in my life, and there is good. The shadows are deep. At times, they cut the light until all I can see is a pinpoint.

A pinpoint of light. Of life.

But there is always a pinpoint.

Never has it been completely dark, and never will it be, even at death.

You are everywhere.

You are good.

You are God alone.

You are ever present.

You are Faithful and true.

I am Yours, and You are mine.

I don’t understand much in my life right now, and can’t see the end. But You know what is going on and know the end. You have plans and purposes, and they are good. I believe, I believe, Help my unbelief.

Father God, Abba. You are my Papa now on earth, as Dad and Thomas are in heaven. But You are enough. Thank You for filling that role in my life and not leaving me an orphan.

Jesus, Savior. You saved me, healed me, and continually intercede on my behalf because I so need it. I cannot live or be without You.

Holy Spirit, Comforter. You fill me with hope, joy, and peace. I need Your comfort and help every minute of every day.

I will focus on the good amidst the chaos and be thankful. Help me look to You. To look for that pinpoint of life. Help me, Abba. You alone.

Help me be free

Help me be

Help me

Help


Have you ever journaled or written a psalm or story to help deal with the angst in life? I’d love to hear your story…
