All I want is You

You made me hollow inward
Gave me a bucket of tears.
Sleep cruelly eludes me,
Anxiety my constant companion.

Depressed, I turn to You
To find You loving me.
You held me in Your arms,
the sweetness of Your embrace.

Darkness pursued and
Confusion followed.
For it was to be a
Time of gleaning and cleansing.
Tears of sorrow rained,
As I saw my wretched state.
Blessed are all who put
Their trust in the Lord.

You carried me through
With everlasting arms.
Gave me parents full of godly wisdom,
And friends in my loneliness.
Fear wanted to imprison me,
But in Christ, she has no place.
Prayers desperate,
Yet You heard them all.

A ray of light and
A gleam of hope.
My darkness broke and
Your joy prevailed.

"A miracle!" I cry
"My God is so good!"
All glory unto Him,
All praises are His only.

I have just gone through almost a week of depression, of which symtoms include sleeplessness and loss of appetite. "Buckets of tears" wet my pillow and for many days, i cried out to the Lord for help. His Word was comforting and His strength amazing. It was an unusual time of testing in which I have learnt to depend and trust deeply in the Lord. I am weak but my God is strong. All glory be the Lord. Amen!
