Hidden

Psalm 55:1-2 — Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.

Tear after

tear,

petition after

petition,

grief after

grief,

cry after

cry

I have brought to You

in this hidden place

away from view.

Alone,

on my knees,

blinds drawn

and lights dimmed,

desperate for an

answer.

Not a single soul

has known

nor wandering eye

seen

this hidden war

for redemption.

I have lost count

of the days,

the seasons,

the time -

have You forgotten me,

O Lord?

Amen.
