In The Midst of a Storm
This is a poem/spoken words that God placed on my heart to share with you all. As you read, you will be placed in my perspective, comforting a loved one through a difficult situation. If you or a loved one are going through one right now, I hope this gives you peace and reassurance.
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”
(Isaiah 43:2 NLT)
We all feared
For what was drawing near
As the outcome
Was still unclear
I know you have fears
But you must forbear
And not believe
All that you may hear
For the devil likes to whisper
Deceitful lies
He’ll take away
All your cheer
Replacing it
with broken tears
He’ll lie that no one cares
Quickly, he’ll fill your heart with fear
Unaware, you’ll start to tear
So cover your ears
And set your eyes here
Together
A family
United
And prepared
For a fight
To make things right
To bring you light
And not despair
We’ve just arrived…
(Courtroom)
That sinister
That monster
He won’t dare come near
Especially with us all here
Then there were silence
not one single sound
And in came, the clown
A man, no... a foul boy
The one who destroyed
A beautiful joy
An innocent soul…
She thought
There was no hope
It’s hard to tame
All that anger filling our veins
I won’t lie...
I wanted to cry
As I tried to hide
This pain that overcame
When I saw your shattered eyes
Behind that disguise
A broken smile appeared
But I know you too well, my dear
I know you’re scared
I’m sorry...
what he did was so unfair
If I could, you know I would...
Punch his face
That mistake
What a disgrace
To our human race!
I didn’t share the fact that
A part of me was a little scared...
This fear that the jury wouldn’t believe
Reprieving that monster
From what he really needs
As he continued pacing back and forth
All he did was deny and deceive
His lawyer too, spread his lies
Saying enough, just to get by.
So under my breath, I said a little prayer
Over and over again
In hopes, God would hear
My friends and family too, joined in prayer
Then a woman appeared
And right then and there
I felt God whisper
She’s here to steer
As He restores
All that was taken and more
Reminding us to
Let go of these fears,
Wipe away those tears
The fight is here!
This sense of peace overcame me
And I just believed, God appeared
Using this woman, as He said
“She’s here to steer”
Our lawyer
We barely know, spoke
When she told your story
We all were filled with hope
As God continued to reveal
The deceit
One by one
We all left that court
Feeling relieved
A couple days passed
The verdict is here...
There in the courtroom
We all got to hear
Watching him be convicted
Of all his crimes for all those years
This will haunt him for a lifetime
As he broke down into tears…
I think it’s now very clear
That if he ever tries to come near
Any child anywhere
God will make sure he lives in FEAR!
“But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
(Matthew 18:6 NLT)
“For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
(Matthew 18:20 NLT)
What I want you to take away from this is, while in the midst of a storm, no matter what lies the devil whispers and tempts you with, RESET your eyes back to GOD. When doing so, you need to have FAITH and BELIEVE that God is there and don’t be afraid to ASK FOR PRAYERS! The power of prayer is so real, even if it’s a little prayer under your breath, God will hear and deliver. Trust me!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray whoever is reading this, in the midst of a storm… that You Father God will reach them in prayer and give them peace. I pray that You cast away fear, anxiety, and depression. As well as any lies that the devil is whispering to them. Help them to reset their eyes back to You, Lord God! In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
