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.
