 Darkness Surrounds Me, Again

Lord this darkness
surrounds me again,
once more

Lord I need You again,
in You I may
triumph and soar

Thank You for
Your comfort and peace
for me You send

I no longer have
to wallow in pity, or
my heart, rend

Trouble is all about me,
meant to bring
me down

I am reaching inside
for Your strength, the joy
that replaces my frown

If I have anything
inside me that
is not of You

Clean it out Lord,
allow Your Spirt to flow
freely through me too

Your peace that passes
all understanding
settles in me

You are for me
and not against me,
I'm so glad I finally see

Your grace is truly
sufficient for this moment,
in my life

This battle is Yours,
You are at work tearing
down this strife

I may relax in You,
as in me,
You do Your work

You shut the mouth
of the enemy
while in this murk

No longer am I
afraid of this darkness,
that desires to make me afraid

You are my Shepherd,
I shall not want,
You make me, I pray

A few days ago I found myself
whispering Psalms 23 once again.
I memorized this chapter when I was
a little girl to receive a Bible in Sunday School.

Over the years I have found
myself whispering this, then suddenly
trouble would be in my face.
You know what I mean?

This is a gift from the Lord to me
to let me know I am with
you Deb and I will not leave you.

The good news is
He is with you too, all
we have to do is call out
to Him in our time of distress.

Trouble hit me the same day
I found myself whispering this,
but this time, this time...
everything is changed!
I have freedom and victory
in this battle. Not because of me,
but because of who He is, in me!


Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV

Then he said to them, "Go your way,
eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those
for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow, for the joy
of the LORD is your strength."

Philippians 4:7 NKJV

and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV

And He said to me,
"My grace is sufficient for you,
for My strength is made perfect
in weakness." Therefore most gladly
I will rather boast in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ
may rest upon me.


Psalm 23:1-3 NKJV

1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me
to lie down
in green pastures;
He leads me
beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths
of righteousness
For His name's sake.
