There is nothing stressful in my life, but the poem is a memory of when it was.
Make Things Right
Oh Lord, Oh God, What shall I do? I often pray to You and cry When problems wrack my brain with pain Stressing me until I want to die.
I walk the floor, I look outside I turn on the television, too Seeing absolutely nothing wherever I gaze While locked inside the problems I rue.
Oh Lord, Oh God, What shall I do? Worry, beg, plead and pray, Seeking answers from every source Tired and exhausted as darkness ends the day.
Dreams, violent dreams, they haunt me Assault my brain while I sleep Squeeze every muscle in my shoulders and body Cutting like knives way down deep.
Is there no answer to my plea Will life keep haunting me with its distress Will I continue to bite my tongue When issues create such a disturbing mess?
The skeleton remains in my closet I will not publish its contents today To those who are reading and wondering What this great problem is that I pray
But oh Lord, oh God, hear my plea You know my mind and heart
I beg your understanding and goodness
To create resolution and a brand new start.
That anesthetizes a worried mind
And fills one’s life with joy and delight
Fixes all the misery, suffering, and pain
With your love that makes things right.
AMEN! AND HOW GOOD IT IS TO KNOW THAT IN A STRESSFUL SITUATION LIKE THIS...IT IS 'ONLY' HIS LOVE THAT CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT. A WONDERFUL INSPIRATIONAL OFFERING THAT GIVES HOPE TO WHAT SEEMS HOPELESS. SO WELL DONE AND ENJOYED...THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE AND BLESSINGS,

Beautiful heartfelt write Jeanette. Remember, if God brought you to it, He will bring you through it. Have faith and keep praying. I'll be praying for you also. God bless.
Jeanette,
I'm there, right now, having made a difficult decision I had to make in life and spending time second-guessing whether I'd made the right one. In time, I'll know I did and I will be fine. It isn't easy now, though.
Beautiful, profound, bountiful poemization of ontological-spiritual nature... "Make Things Right" inspires and nourishes the soul. A poetic grand indeed.
Beautiful writing Jeanette. We all have skeletons that we'd like to keep locked away, but it's when we learn to live with them and to forgive ourselves that WE truly learn to live.

Ah, my dear Jeanette, we all have those skeleton's . . . We must either learn to live with them or they shall destroy us . . . Remember this comment in the days to come . . . It may prove prophetic . . .
Such a heartfelt write and prayer my friend. Your plea brings back a time in my life that I too walked the floors at night in search of peace and relief, turned the television on and off in efforts to forget, read thousands of words to try to fill the space and ease the toughts, but knew not what I read, ate countless chips and cookies to try to find comfort, called on God through it all and through blinding tears, gut wrenching tears...but it also reminded me of where I was when the answer came...during one of those long nights I sat on the bed calling out to Him, when He quietly reminded me that He wouldn't allow more to come upon me than I could bear, and He told me to stand and be a living witness and He would move for me....and He did....in His time, not my time. It was an experience that's helped me through many situations, trials and troubles since. What a great write my friend, you've helped encourage me all over again this morning by reminding me of how He moved for me in this particular situation all those years ago....well done.
Blessings,
Joyce B.
Welcome home - you've been missed! This is powerfully emotional - many find themselves at the depths of despair, at the bottom, crying out to God - glad this isn't your current state! Been there - done that - feel every one of these words. Excellent.
