Unbreakable

I read something one day about writing our own psalms by taking the format of many of the Psalms (eyes on the problem and self and then moving the focus to God and ending in praise), and decided to try it out.

The word “why” screams within my soul, battling the truth of Your Word.
My tearful prayers echo in my ears as I wonder if I’m even heard.
I fight the urge to throw my hands up in surrender and quit.
My soul cries out, “God, I simply cannot handle it!”
The anxious thoughts and the sleepless nights
Leave me exhausted, without the will to fight.
Though Your Word says alone I’ll never be,
My pain screams out that You’ve abandoned me.
As I sit with my head bowed in prayer,
I cry out to You, “God, are you there?”
I recall Your promise that You will never leave,
And whisper “I believe, Lord, help my unbelief.”
I need to go to Your Word and look for You there,
And allow it to remind me once again that You always care.
I read how You will always provide, and that all works for good,
And remember how You’ve carried me through the storms I’ve withstood.
I’ve never been alone for a single minute – not even on the darkest of nights,
Your Word reminds me You’re by my side, and in Your Word my soul delights.
