Day of Darkness (7)

My sorrows will be turned to joy;

my hurt will be no more.

Though I fall,

I will rise,

for the Lord is my strength.

Though I hurt,

I will be healed,

for the Lord upholds the righteous.

When faith is my only option,

and trust my only tool,

only then can I be near to You.

When my vices are not enough,

and distractions fail me,

only then can I rely on the Lord.

When life tears me apart,

and darkness swallows me whole,

only then can I have faith.

Standing firm is my victory,

carrying on is my fight;

the Lord is pleased

that I draw near to Him in desperation.

In this I am encouraged:

I am worthy of hardship,

and chosen to suffer.

God will uphold me;

He himself, my Father in heaven,

will see me through.

The Almighty God,

Alpha and Omega,

stands behind me,

walks ahead of me,

and positions Himself beside me.

If He is God,

and it is so,

how can I be defeated?

Amen.
