I awaken with a heavy heart today
Sleeping later than usual if I may
My thoughts are with those in dire need
Hoping their lives will blossom to please
When a person cares about others nearby
Feeling their sadness and sorrow going by
It causes me to really stop and think
Dashing my energy whenever I blink
I feel like running to those who suffer so
Forgetting the many miles that I must go
I reach for my Bible at this morning hour
Reading God’s word that forever towers
His amazing grace and love always fill me up
Plugging the vacuum of a sinner who’s corrupt
My Bible journey transports me to Psalm 31
Allowing the words to reach out, one by one
I pursue refuge with my almighty God, my Lord
Delivering to me His righteousness, like a sword
God has created a holy, mighty fortress for all
Carrying all of us to a safe place before we fall
Lord, remove me from this netting that holds thee
Allowing my troubles to fall as I drop to my knees
I extend my troubled hand out to His
Guiding me to bless Him and all that is
My Lord has redeemed me to stand firm
Sending me forth to help others in return
Waking up on a morning when my own heart was indeed very heavy, God transformed my attitude in His way. Before writing this poem, I was reading a short devotional, and the Biblical text sent me to Psalm 31:1-5. Use the link to read these inspiring verses.

Thank you Pat for sharing this poem. Fortunately, the pain experienced was on a day about 10 months ago. All of us need to manage the valleys in our lives.
