In the Midst of a Maelstrom

In The Midst of a Maelstrom My emotions are consuming like wildfire. Once elated, now, my body is burning. My mind was once my friend, now unspeakable thoughts torment my soul. I rage, and I shake... trembling with fear. Questions consume me, focused on a particular thought, like paralysis, I am locked. Yet, beyond the whipping hair, and the deafening noise, I see a glimmering light, in the midst of a maelstrom, Where there is faith, there is no fear. and the seas die back, and sheets that I tore that became my slumbering chains, now release me from my nightmare, and Jesus stands there, with comforting arms, and calls my name. I am reminded when facing a storm, God does not give the spirit of fear. God gives the spirit of strength, of sound mind, and of love. Surrender, and like a hurricane, walk to the center. There, you will find him... His majestic peace... authority over all things. by, Martin Braun Glory be to God, my savior. August 19, 2023
