hope endures

Tears fall night after night.  Waves crash on the walls of my heart.  With each new day a new hurt taunts my soul.  My heart bleeds pain. The pressure on my chest makes every breath excruciating.  When will it end?

There’s no where to look but up. Nothing to speak but truth.

As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
your mercy from me;
your steadfast love and your faithfulness will
ever preserve me! Psalm 40:11

I claim His promises.  I shout them over and over again.  But the rain still falls.  The sun simply doesn’t shine.

Friends comfort.  The rain beats down.  Some days a trickle.  Some days a downpour.

I want to quit, but HE won’t release me.  So I sit in the rain.

Sometimes He puts His umbrella over me.  Sometimes He lets the rain fall on my face. But His hand is always there.  I never walk alone.

This is hope.  That even in the rain, my hope endures.

Our Hope Endures by Natalie Grant

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It’s more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

 

Emmanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
And this is our hope

 

Listen to the whole song HERE.
