Depression To Faith

(09/22/11) I see now that I can no longer cope I finally reached the end of my rope. All my life I’ve been the provider Now I feel like I’m the outsider. Looking in To the way life used to be When I was happy and care free. Now I am under so much stress I think it’s time- that I rest. I’ve always been the one to talk About love, hope, and faith Now I can no longer relate. What makes us get to a point so low That you have no where s to go. When the apostles were crossing the lake And the winds and rains came and they were sinking They awoke JESUS saying Master, master, - we are sinking. Then JESUS calmed the waters and the winds , and the rains They just stood in wonder and felt so ashamed. As he asked : where is your faith? Now I stand here - ashamed of all my fears For he is by my side to wipe away my tears. My faith has always been my foundation My heart , my soul ,my inspiration. Now I am growing weak And the lords strength I do seek. Without faith - all hope is gone But the strength of your love lingers on. So here I apply all that you’ve given Because you make life worth living.

Louis,I know at times it does get hard to hold onto your faith.When times get tuff for me, I feel as if my faith may get stronger.Because it might be a test of my faith.So I just drop all fears and say "It's in GOD's hands" he will guide me. Your friend Dan
