You sit in your room

and cry

as tears fall down your face

and onto your bed.

You scream out to God

and you think he doesn’t hear you.

You feel so broken, abandoned, and alone.

You feel as if you have no true place

to call home.

Nobody sees you.

People pass you on the street and don’t even notice

that you haven’t smiled in weeks.

Life weighs heavy on your shoulders

and you don’t know how much longer you will last.

That thought crosses your mind one last time.

This is it.

Tonight’s the night.

All your problems will go away with your final breath.

Just when you’re about to end it all

you fall to the floor and the tears poor down like rain.

“Jesus, help me!” You say.

Something is different.

You’re filled with overwhelming peace.

You feel his arms of love wrapped around you.

You understand something you didn’t before,

a hope you couldn’t see.

And now you have a hope, strength, and peace

living in you,

fighting for you.

Even when you feel numb as if your soul is crumbling

piece by piece,

you cry out to Jesus to rescue you-

and he sets you free!
