From my soul, tears overflowing
Cascading down like a fountain
A fountain of throbbing pain and regret
Old scars reopened, new wounds made
From my heart, a silent plea for help
Crying in my own distress for anyone
Yet I am alone in this painful time
Buried alive in my own desolation
From my mind, thoughts of deception arise
Wondering why my Maker has abandoned me
Concentrating on the negatives of this world
Just wishing to escape from this wretched earth
Here I am, living in this hell that I’ve created
Wandering in the darkness of the depression
Looking for a light to lead me through this valley
Slowly losing control, the hope slowly fading
As the darkness begins to consume my soul
I bend my knees and lift my worries to Christ
In my agony, I cry out to my Father for His love
Author notes
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." (Psalms 23:4)
I am going through a time of pain and depression right now. It is very hard for me to explain what is bothering me so I won't. If you have a moment, the only thing that I would ask is that you pray for me. I'll get better... it might not be soon, but I'll get better.

I'm sorry you feel like this. I don't know how long ago it was or anything, but if you're better, I'm glad. If not, then I pray that you will. I'll still keep you in my prayers anyway. I love you so much and I don't want to see you depressed or anything.

I join you in your prayer, and uplift you before the Lord. Keep strong in your faith, and turn a deaf ear to Satan's lies.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

i can't even begin to say how awesomely uplifting this poem is. everything is so fresh and original, there are no cliches of any kind, even the sentence structure is unique compared with many other poems. but the underlying message of hope throughout the entire peice made it breathtakingly splendid. i know the feeling very well, and have experienced the joys of knowing that my Savior can always rescue me. thank you for this amazing write.

Um... all I can say is WOW! But outside that I'll be praying for you Tim.
Never forget that if you need prayer I'll be down on my knees in a heart beat.

Tim, I have been and will always keep praying for you. I am sorry that you are going through such a painful sad time. Just remember that no matter how bad things are people care, I care and will always be there for you no matter what. I wish there was more I could say to help you or even knew what I was saying is helping but I will always be there for you. You are an amazing person. Stay strong, I know it is hard but you have people you can talk to 'lean on' anyway I am sure I have given you enough to read and its about time I shut up. Time never stands still and I am just about out of it.
take care my friend great job.
Peace to ya ~Beth

Oh Tim we will be praying for you here. I am so glad that you have some true friends here that are willing to comfort you in your time of need. Just remember that Bad things happen, But God is good. I was told this saying after losing my second child. But God is good and I was able to use that situation to bring others to him. I will pray God grants you a peace that only He could give, and remember It's in the valleys we grow.
Because He Lives,

Lord, I pray that you would surround Tim with your presence and sweet comforting Spirit. What he needs right now is a holy hug from you and to know that you are near him. May you quiet the anxiety and fears that have caused him to be sad. Lord, be with him this night and may he wake up to find his cup overflowing with joy so great he can barely contain it. May you give Tim rest so sweet that he has visions of you.
Remember Tim, you are not alone in this world. He promised that the Comforter would always be with us until He returns to take us home to be with Him. Some of our prior sisters and brothers lamented with such grief and agony. This is not something new to the Lord. He wants you to call on Him! He wants to know that you need Him!
Many hugs,

Do you know, li'l brother, how much I love you? Okay here:
My eyes weep for my little brother,
And so I come to your aide;
Please, dear Tim, it is no bother,
To grant you gracious shade;
See you are like the prophets and kings,
Who suffered such as seen in you;
The darkness came, when they would sing
His praises when He showed Self true;
You must endure as His good Soldier,
For each battle that Satan will muster;
Stand in His Armor and so endure;
He'll bring about, in you, a holy luster;
Embrace the One who has cleansed you;
Clash breastplates with His own;
See the gleam He brings so true,
In you, He makes His glory shown;
It is my privilege, li'l sibling,
To stand and fight with you;
Strike the sword, with dark, weeping,
To bring about a great breakthrough;
But remember, my precious Tim,
He remembers you, with all might;
He remembers not, any sin,
And calls you brother; it's His right.
I'm here, as much as humanly possible. You are remembered by me, so why not a great infinite mind like the Lord, who remembers with grace and mercy.
You will not be alone!

Dearest Sharcu, there is a time in every Christian's life that they come to a sort of brick wall... where it seems that God is no where to be found... It is then by faith that we simply believe that even though we do not feel or see Him.. that He is still there...
There was a time in my life that I couldn't feel or see Him... I was devastated, being abused by my husband in terrible ways... I was confused... I even cried out to God to either kill my husband or to allow me to die... but it was then that I had a choice to make... would I believe that simply because He said He was there... that He was actually there with me? It was then that I cried out to Him... tears streaming down my face... and I simply thanked Him for being with me... I told Him that I believed He was with me simply because He said it was so... then, I began to praise Him.. just for being Him... My burden was lifted Sharcu... it took some time... but it was lifted.
Isaiah 43 1-2 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by they name: thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest throught the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 49: 1-2 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me. and made me a polished shaft, in his quiver hath he hid me. -
oh, Tim, I am so sorry. I knew you were going through something, but I never knew you felt like this. I really am praying and I hope that everything is fine.
You know that God has not abanded you, and that you have many friends on here that are wlling to help and pray. I hope that you know I am here for you at any time for whatever the problem is.
The Bible says "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths"
*God Bless You*
