Trust
I look to God for guidance some cleansing for my soul.
The only One I know can bring me peace when I feel I’ve lost control.
I don’t have the means to make these changes, I scream to Him above.
I’m scared of all the things before me, afraid to live afraid to love!
Watching as all my friendships fade while I’m left standing in the dark.
Wondering if this is how it should be or did I miss the mark?
I know I have to leave things behind but should it be this hard?
Must I shed these layers so quickly, let caution go and drop my guard?
I’m confused by so many things, crying up to the heavens with no reply.
Am I doing this the right way Lord, why won’t You tell me why?
Day to day I struggle – caught in between two lives.
Trying to let the old me fade while making sure my faith survives.
I turn to the word of God but do not understand his plan.
When will I get direction Lord, I need the calm of your hand?
Exhaustion stretches over me, the questions lingers, should I give up?
Can I continue with this battle or have I had enough?
I don’t know how to fight this, its unfamiliar ground.
The world is pushing down upon me threatening to surround.
How can I defeat these feelings? I’m too weak to fight alone!
Is this your intention Lord, must I fight this on my own?
Like an echo in the silence I receive his word.
So quiet and steady it almost can’t be heard.
A single word is uttered, and follow I know I must.
The single word that is my guide, all He says is Trust.
Trust in Me in times of weakness, I will be your guide.
Trust in Me in moments of fear, there is no need to hide.
Trust in Me when you are angry, I will bring you peace.
Trust in Me when overwhelmed, sanctity is your release.
Trust in Me in all you do, lean not on your own mind.
Just trust in Me and you’ll find peace….
but first you must leave the world behind.
