The world feels heavy.
The clouds are falling on me.
It’s like the earth built walls around my soul.
And the gates are sealed shut.
Too tight for my strength.
Too strong for my size.
And here I am...
Stuck in the middle of a storm I didn’t choose.
It feels like a river I cannot cross.
I have no strength to swim,
No tools to float,
And the waters are rising.
I cry
But no sound of help is near.
No footsteps echo toward me.
No hand reaches down.
Only silence…
And sorrow.
All I see is water filling my lungs,
Clouds pressing me down,
Bronze gates holding me in.
Pain.
Darkness.
Fear.
What else is left to see with human eyes
But evil, struggle, and shattered dreams?
But… what if I tried to see beyond?
What if there’s more to this moment
Than pain?
I lift my eyes
And I remember.
A voice once said,
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”
He said again,
“You will have trouble, but take heart… I have overcome the world.”
So here I am,
Gasping for hope,
Longing for rescue.
Still drowning, waiting.
But I remember again.
“Cast all your burdens on Me,
For I care for you.”
So I do.
I release all.
I surrender all.
And in His time,
In His way,
In His mercy,
He will reach down,
Draw me out of these deep waters,
Break the bronze bars,
And make me whole again.
