Decision
Author Dana Redricks
April 25, 2025
How do I decide, when the path splits in two, when the steps I might take could erase what I knew? This image of me, built through struggles and strife, now I tremble with doubt in the face of new life.
I seek a hand to hold, a voice to guide, but silence surrounds me; I’m pushed aside. And yet, there’s One who feels my unseen scars, who knows the battles raging beneath these stars.
Only God knows the ache in my soul, the yearning to mend, to be made whole. These feelings are vivid, they burn, they are so surreal, the depth of my pain, the need to heal.
What should I do? Is the cost too steep, to journey alone where shadows creep? This maze of reality twists and turns, each corner ignites, each doubt still burns.
Explaining myself feels like a worn-out refrain, yet I scream at the skies with words soaked in pain. The world chills my spirit, it hardens my view, but still, I must ask how can I stay true?
Through faith, through grace, I’ll find my way, for even in darkness, there’s hope for the day. To make it through, to rise and renew, I hold to the promise: God's love will see me through.
