I Am Trapped Between Two Worlds

I am trapped between two worlds, Lord which one do I choose? I want both but one leads to an eternity without you. My heart is racing and my mind isn’t at ease, I need to make a decision so my soul can have peace. I’m fighting a battle that seems to have no end, on the one side I lose my Father, on the other I lose my friends. I’m burdened by this quest to find true happiness, something, anything that will give my soul some rest. I lay awake crying, the tears running down my cheeks. It’s like all of heaven is laughing and pointing at me. I’ve prayed and I’ve cried yet to no avail I see. You won’t even answer the questions that are plaguing me. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I breathe nothing but ice. I feel like I am in the artic when it’s winter and there is no light. It’s darkness all around me, I cant see my hand in front of my face. I try to retrace the steps to righteousness but I seem out of place. I seem not to belong, but I know I am destined to be here. So why is leaving everything behind the biggest thing that I fear? To leave everything is to gain everything but that equation doesn’t add up in my mind. Through bitterness, pain and suffering I find, that nothing I do or say is helping me make my situation better. That’s why I had to sit down and write you this letter. I figured since you won’t hear my prayers, a letter will do the trick instead. I’m all out of options and this is the last stop before the train leaves. I need to hear from you now God, I need to know my destiny. Am I wasting my time searching for you, have you already turned your back? Or is there still a second left where you’ll have mercy and let me get back on track?

Sometimes the answer sought, is the seeking itself and I don't believe God ever turns his back, just allows us to find things ourselves. I hope you find the answers you seek in this as your feelings are expressed fluidly and clearly. Michael

Monique, really a beautiful name. If you have friends that try to steer you away from God, it's best to walk away and pray that somewhere, somehow, some one or something will steer them to Christ. Never give up your love and faith to the Lord for any reason, and pray for those friends, Blessings Ron
