Meditating on this Scripture today reminded me of this poem written a while back… Psalm 19:14, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer.”
Voices screaming at me from all directions
Attacking my body with fire and spears
Never seeing my heart that is bursting
Always believing their own accusations
Tears stream down my face like the rain
Darkness consumes my very being
Shrieks of terror escape my lips
Innocent ears naïve to the shame
Anger and hatred again are stabbing me
Cries for mercy never to be heard
Guilt and anguish fill my mind with pain
Dropped to my knees unable to be free
