In the Moments - 2

There are moments
When I don’t know how to pray
There are moments
When I don’t know what to say
There are moments 
When doubt and worry get in the way
There are moments
When I can’t see the light of day

These quiet moments
When silence echoes on my soul
These dark moments
When despair forms a sinkhole
These pensive moments
When worries seem to control
These sober moments 
When love is the only thing to console

That is the time – the moments
When I feel like my heart is greedy
For the love and joy and peace
That colors me in hues that are so needy
For the light that falls on my spirit
Pulling me through all those unready
Things that bring my heart strife
Like a garden who is flourishing but weedy

These are the moments when I cry
Because my heart is so filled with doubt
That I linger in the temptation to strive
For the comfort and relief poured out
From a heavenly Father who knows my sorrow
And fills me with inspiration all about
The wonder and beauty of His love and peace
The light that lingers inside with a shout
Of joy that comes from finally knowing
God is alive, pouring out rain across the drought

These moments come to remind me why
I have a peace amid the worry I can’t deny
That is the reason why I always try
To hold onto the One who always will supply
Hope, faith and unending grace that will dry
All of my tears with a love on which I can rely
