~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

there were moments, times in my life when I couldn’t pray – all I felt was strife there were fears, tears, leftovers from grief so dark and lonely, I couldn’t get any relief there were sorrows beyond my understanding night’s shadows, desperations expanding there were wars within my spirit, fights forcing me to feel lost, without any rights there were storms that made me feel lost when I look back, I still see what it cost there were so many feelings I couldn’t express times when my heart’s hope was only a guess there were thoughts that fed my insecurities desperation that left me with life’s impurities there were relationships, oh, I’ve loved so much wouldn’t it be beautiful to feel a gentle touch? there were sensitivities that taught me to doubt when it comes to feelings I often just want out there were rains, tempests who were so garish despite it all though – this love would never perish amid the battles, amongst the cries – the salty tears there came a voice stilling my worries and fears it was love that reminded me - He’s always near whatever I might face, His love is completely sincere when I don’t know what to do and the pain is deep I look to my Savior, knowing that my soul He will keep

Dear Regina, Oh my, the honest struggles so many face-those dark, tearful nights when hope feels distant and faith is hard to grasp. Like the most moving poems of perseverance and faith, you show that even in the deepest pain, love and the presence of God can break through, steadying us when we’re lost. Your words are a gentle push that we’re never truly alone, even in our hardest battles. Congrats on POTD! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Such raw ontological truths expressed in such a strong, vulnerable truth in the faith of a loving trinity. Hope does spring eternal. Fight the good fight. Rest in His loving arms when all feels lost. Your words inspire those looking for a pick-me-up. Beautiful and comforting.

"there were moments, times in my life when I couldn’t pray – all I felt was strife" - A grand feeling as undergone by Saint John Of The Cross, Saint Teresa of Avila and others. Beautifully written. Congratulations!

Congratulation Gina, I always come to you for my devotional. This is a raw ache with those prayerless nights, storms that stripped you bare as the Psalms’ cries. I see the shadows you named, the Love that held fast when doubt clawed hardest. Your words are psalters, tracing how grace stitches light through every fracture. The Keeper who turns scars into sunrise? He’s not done with your story. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Regina, your poem points to hope and strength through unwavering faith...I particularly like the lines "amid the battles, amongst the cries--the salty tears" and "there came a voice stilling my worries and fears." Beautiful imagery. Congratulations on your POTD. -Mickey G
