“The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” Psalm 34:17-18

Heartache

Walk His Way Revisited

I have an ache deep in my soul.

I hurt! I fear I’ll lose control.

To burden others—would that be wrong?

They seem to sing a different song.

To Papa/God is where I’ll flee—

With arms stretched wide He waits for me.

My broken heart is for Him alone.

I lay my pain before His throne.

No need to worry about perfection

Just as I am—there is no rejection.

He says, “My child, for you I died!

With you, My Spirit shall abide.”

He holds me gently in His arms.

No fear—no feelings of alarm.

His eyes look deep inside of me.

Accepting love now sets me free.

With freedom comes a new direction

Please Lord, give me a love connection.

A discerning heart for hurt in others.

Real love for sisters and for my brothers.

Each one is different—each one unique.

May they find You, Lord, howe’er they seek.

Shine through me, Lord—keep me from sin.

May their fragile hearts I not offend.

Lord keep me free from complacency.

May Your healing love be expressed through me.

Help me, Lord.
