Under attack
4/3/07
The darts they fly
Hitting here, missing there
But they keep coming
More and more they fly
Harder and harder they hit
More hit than miss now
Direct hits, over and over
Harder and harder
How much more can I take?
I just don’t know.
I just don’t know.
Where’s the shield of protection?
Where’s the mighty armor?
I give him too much power.
I let the wounds fester.
I let the pain sink in
Deeper and deeper
Until numbness fills my soul
No more pain do I feel
Just emptiness inside
No where to turn.
No where to hide.
No one is there.
Alone in my torment
I sit and wait for another dart to hit.
There it is.
The cycle begins again.

I've felt like this off and on the last several days. Sometimes I feel alright then other times this poem embodies my mental state..
When the enemy comes in like a flood, it is then that the Lord will lift us up ~ if and only if we put our trust in Him. A very familiar scripture to most (PsaLm 27:1) says: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" Kat - read the entire 27th Psalm. I believe that you will find encouragement in those verses. Read it every day and when these darts seem to keep coming and you fell like they are attacking from every side, take some time out and pray that God will touch your emotions, your mind, and move in your situation.
I really do understand how you feel as my emotional roller coaster has yet to stop or even slow down. In spite of all that's not going as I desire in my life, "One thing have I desired of the Lord, ... " and it is that one thing that I will "SEEK" after. I'm trusting whole-heartedly in God to be there for me during my troubled times. The scripture goes on to say "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." In other words, when all seems lost and we feel like we're sinking from the inside -- God is the ONLY unchanging force and He is waiting with out-stretched arms to comfort, strengthen, and heal. But only if and when we allow Him to do so.
Be encouraged as you continue throughout this week. I will keep you in my prayers and I'm believing God to move in your life. Touch and agree with me and IT SHALL BE!!!
