Peace That Surpasses All Understanding

 

No greater peace

we can ever find and have

But the peace that springs 

from the heart of God

Peace that surpasses 

all understanding…

A Crying Soul

 

A Crying Soul

Not a poet at all…

just putting in words

the bewailing of my soul

No fascinating verses or prose

just echoes of every teardrops 

mists of life’s blows…

I am no poet at all

Just a wretched heart

ravaged and consumed 

crying in unending rain

walking through my storms …

©️Manuelle Augustine, 2015

If Only

If I could only touch the skies 

I would paint the colors of my rainbow

with all the hues of hope...

If I could only pluck 

the moon and the stars 

to light up my darkest nights

with all my might I would...

If I could only tell time 

to stay...

If only God 

will change my reality...

Path Less Trodden

I am treading on a path less trodden 

Along are riven hearts 

so worn in agony

crying for God's mercy...

With no more reason to move on

they keep on

they hold on

to that faith in their heart

in every step of the path 

Believing 

Trusting 

that in the road less trodden 

God is molding hearts 

to greater faith

For His greater purpose...

And in the path less trodden 

God's mercy and grace 

is more than sufficient 

For He is keeping 

the broken hearts in His...

Does God Heal?

How does God heal?

Would He come to heal me

as in His words He promised?

Would He send His miracle

like what He've done to the many?

Would He have mercy on me

and heal my heart...?

Would He surround me in His grace

As I have always believed...?

Yes... 

I know He will...

PTSD

PTSD

Do you know them?

Do you really understand 

what they're going through?

Do you feel their pain?

Do you hear what they hear?

Do you see what they see?

Can you feel their agony?

You will never know

If you are not one...

He will get you through...

God has reasons...

Though in tears 

Though in pain 

just let it flow

because faithfully 

He will get you through

until we know and understand 

the reasons of the many why's...

I Kneel...

Oh what amazing comfort it is 

to trust and believe the heart of God...

Oh what solitude to understand 

God can never be wrong...

In all my deepest pain

facing life's truths and realities

though in streaming tears

my heart is resting 

in trusting God's grace...

Oh God I will draw myself to you

I will cling in you...

When my sadness and pain 

is drowning me within...

when it's mist is pulling me in strain

and my heart starts to crumble again 

faced by the dagger of reality 

to you I come and kneel...

I need you Lord...

I need you Lord...

my heart need your touch...

Heal my heart Lord...

you know I need it much...

If God would...

They said 

Never stop asking God

Never give up 

on your hopes and dreams...

They just don't know

the truth that I am living in...

They just don't hear and see

my anguish 

to God I cried all nights all day...

If God would only give me 

one chance to ask  and pray...

I know needless for me to say...

He knew it all so well...

Everything...All the way...

In the land of the living...

      

Oh God...

Please feel my grief 

      and heal my pain

You know my heart 

      is dying within

The sadness is consuming

      it is overwhelming

You know I'm tired

      you know the weight

that I've been bearing...

      I pray...

Please touch my heart

      please bless my soul 

with your peace and grace 

      in the land 

      of the living

Please allow me to live 

      a life that is 

      truly breathing

In hopelessness 

      please grant me hope

I pray Oh Lord...

      

Sole reason...

When your heart 

is where your hope is

when in hope 

is where your heart is

Yet you are 

in a place of hopelessness 

where you lay in bed of tears 

and could not find reasons 

to believe 

Faith in God's purposes 

is the sole reason

to breathe...

Facing Hopelessness

Facing hopelessness 

is facing reality...

It may mean giving up

on the things that matters much

It may mean to accept things 

that are not meant to be...

as with things that are meant to be...

It doesn't mean giving in to defeat

But being brave to stand and believe 

that there are reasons and purposes

for everything...

Though things aren't going your way 

though to hope 

is what your heart wishes to be 

though to have hope 

is what you want to pray...

Facing hopelessness 

is facing truth and reality...

A glimpse of light...

Hurts and pain

God may have allowed to happen 

and some too grievous to comprehend 

Though your heart can't find

the reasons

wait and see

For just in time 

He will make you know 

and understand 

why things had to be...

In your darkest 

a glimpse of light will shine...

walk through the light in faith

It shines even more 

as you advance closer

to believe...

I want to believe...

Oh how my heart 

wants to believe 

that God desires 

to grant my wishes

and wipe my tears away 

as He comfort me 

in His embrace...

I wonder...

Father God

How do you see me?

What is my image to thee?

How do you look at me?

What am I to thee?

I wonder Oh God

what are your thoughts

about me...

Lord You Know...

You know in pain 

I surrender to you...

In deep sorrow 

I submit to your will...

What you have purposed 

I can not change ...

Though my soul 

is crying within

Lord you know 

I have faith in your will...

I know...

Lord,

You know I am in so much pain

but I know 

you are making things right

in my life, in our lives...

Whenever...

Whenever my heart

starts to feel the mist of my pains 

and my whole being begins

to tremble again...

when my mind remembers

how things had been...

Lord to you I call...

In Jesus name...

Trust in the Lord Completely

Trust in the Lord 

Completely...

Trust in His purposes and will...

It's always good and best...

In sweet surrender...

though in tears...

in bended knees...

in brokenness...

Trust that He delights in you 

trusting in Him...

Delight your heart also in Him...

In His perfect time 

He will lead you to His will...

When you completely trust in Him...
