A Lowly State

I’ve been at a such low 
place, 
it’s hard to seek his face.

My faith has been put
to the test,
There is a heavy load 
on my chest.

What am I to do when I
feel hope has run its 
course?

Shall I hang my head down
with much remorse?

I heard the answer to
the question, it was a
still small sound.

I looked but there was 
no one around.

He spoke to my spirit
in my lowly state,
Seeing how much was 
on my plate.

Saying, always have
faith, no matter what,

Because it will see you
through when you're 
down in a rut.

Faith is everything dear Alexis, your faith shines with your beautiful poems that you post - He will help you out of this rut, I could feel from your last 2 or 3 poems you were not a happy chappy - hope all comes right soon, writers block can be depressing. Alexis, I have a problem with my soupmail - I receive mail but my last 2 soupmails I sent were not received. did you receive a soupmail from me? Hugs/blessings Jennifer.

This is a very vivid poem, Alexis, and I apologize if you were suffering grief or remorse at the same moment. It's good to hear that you've been able to move on with your faith in the face of adversity.
