Impending Light
The ravaging of evil intent wraps around my limbs to pull me down and steal my life whenever God breathes upon me to rise. His mighty fire is alive and well, but the battle is fierce. The shadows still grip me and burrow ever deeper to avoid the light. They survive the reckoning of God’s Continue reading

War Wounds
I. My heart is a bruise, so charred and raw, you can’t see how black and blue it is underneath the burns. I don’t want to be touched, but it needs to be cleansed. There are claws in there, from shapeshifting creatures intent on doing harm. They look like love in a certain light, all Continue reading

Flow
Dropping in, getting real, what danger is there? If I connect to how I feel, I will be swallowed up! Feelings so big from the magnetism of momentum, rolling over myself so many times for the sake of perseverance that I am crushed underneath. And the cycle continues until I reach a cliff. What weight Continue reading

Replica
Mind spinning again, over nothing of consequence, or is it everything? Who can tell?Engine revving in my chest when I’m not built to run, but there is no more fuel. This should not be possible. I am an abominable machine, alive by supernatural means: a replica of the original man formed from clay by God’s Continue reading

The Purpose of Night
We, too, fall into the cracks of the earth as if to be swallowed and forgotten in an endless abyss. But you, God, raise us up out of the depths to transform us into something to be loved. Before your day of reckoning, when we meet you in the air, you change us. We die Continue reading

Gathered
This pollution in my body weakens my flesh each time I feed it. I try to starve it to remain upright but I fall again and again without the strength. I lean on my God, but sometimes, He lets me fall.Sometimes I don’t know why and I surrender. Sometimes, I don’t know why and I Continue reading

To Find Rest
Blessed are you, patient, unwavering God, faithful Creator of life and beauty, who brings forth all peace and restoration. Thank You for bringing us back into Your arms, over and over, when we stumble so easily and can’t seem to keep ourselves from falling. Sometimes, You lift us up to carry us, or to put Continue reading

To the Bearer of All Things
Thank You, Oh King, for holding us in Your heart and Your ways, even when we can barely hold ourselves; Maybe especially then, when it’s hard to feel, but one moment of considering reveals we would fail to even exist without You. This every breath is Yours. This leaden weight is Yours. This struggle and Continue reading

Prayer for Nearness
I ache with longing to be near You, God, like a thousand bruises on my fragile heart. Of all the hurting places in this fallen world and in me, none bring more despair than separation from You. Please do not lose this one who is given to You. Please, God, keep me ever close. Let Continue reading

Water of Life
Save me, please, from this vile thing in me. God of my soul, I beg, transform this abomination. For my flesh lures me in to tear me down, and I can’t bear the shame any longer. Don’t let me sink in these dark waters, this terrible swamp I fell upon too far within myself. Take Continue reading
