Depression To Faith

(09/22/11)

I see now that I can no longer cope
I finally reached the end of my rope.
All my life I’ve been the provider
Now I feel like I’m the outsider. 
 Looking in To the way life used to be
When I was happy and care free.

Now I am under so much stress
I think it’s time- that I rest.
I’ve always been the one to talk
About love, hope, and faith
Now I can no longer relate.

What makes us get to a point so low
That you have no where s to go.

When the apostles were crossing the lake
And the winds and rains came and they were sinking
They awoke JESUS saying
Master, master, - we are sinking.

Then JESUS calmed the waters and
the winds , and the rains
They just stood in wonder and felt so ashamed.
As he asked : where is your faith?

Now I stand here - ashamed of all my fears
For he is by my side to wipe away my tears.
My faith has always been my foundation
My heart , my soul ,my inspiration.
Now I am growing weak
And the lords strength I do seek.

Without faith - all hope is gone
But the strength of your love lingers on.
So here I apply all that you’ve given
Because you make life worth living.

Dan Kearley September 22, 2011 at 9:59 PM Louis,I know at times it does get hard to hold onto your faith.When times get tuff for me, I feel as if my faith may get stronger.Because it might be a test of my faith.So I just drop all fears and say "It's in GOD's hands" he will guide me. Your friend Dan
