From Isaiah 40:10-11: “See, the Lord God comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms and carry them in His bosom and gently lead the mother sheep.”
Staying close
Mercy knows
Chasing away doubts
God’s hand reaches out
Quiet rest
Hope be blest
Faith’s embers restart
Nestled in God’s heart
Always near
Never fear
Righteous grace arrives
Resurrection thrives
Peaceful place
Light’s embrace
Holy Spirit roams
Redemption comes home

With everything that I have gone through at times my prayers are never heard and at times I know God did hear, but now I feel so loss at time trying to find my way once again

I can appreciate your words. My wife and I have been dealing with a crisis within our extended family. There have been times when the foundation of our faith has had to stand against a tsunami of darkness.
