HOPE

When in a night
so dark, scary and lonely,
With your heart so burdened and uptight,

When your claim, ' small me - big God,'
makes you feel like your prayers
are nothing more than an ant's whispers 
in an elephant's ear - useless.

When you feel tired and worthless,
like one fourth the tree remaining in the ground 
while a third of it is cut down,
Do not not lose hope, remember he says,

"For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease."
Christ will revitalize you.
