Abandonment Angst
There I was abandoned in guilt’s distress, enveloped with gloom
within frustration-sealed room
languishing in spiritual pain
with my soul, in faith, pleading for genuine pardon to gain.
...I praise God Who came to me with His love*devoid of accusation’s strain!
Forsaken midst financial hardship, and economic losses
seeking for aid midst dearth-crises
crying in discomfort
with my heart begging for contentment-filled support
...I thank God for presenting Himself as the ultimate blessing-resort!
Left destitute, longing for urgent care
yet receiving defiant stare
immersing in self-pity’s shame
with my health beseeching for wellness’ claim.
...I trust God, my Healer Who even calls me by my name!
Lonesome, wallowing in my failure against pride’s affliction
bitterly agonizing over frustration
blaming hopelessness’ infirmity
with my future seeking for peace-secured eternity.
...I cling to God Who alone can assure me His presence-certainty!
*Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
