A day early because Christmas. May everyone have a blessed time of worship tomorrow. May more people discover the reason for our joy.

This one is a little less “Polished” than what I’d normally post. Sometimes I just feel like I’ll never be more than a filthy dog. That I’ll drown in the problems I create for myself. This is about that. Don’t forget the last two lines ❤ Poem 215 of 365 – One more step was […]

Another prayer. Matthew 28:11-30, Psalm 30:8-12. Poem 203 of 365 – Save me soon.Help me surrender.I am slipping slowly into silence.Be victor over viceBe peace in my very violent, volatile mind.My prince, please protect.My king, kindly come.My ransomed, wretched soul seeks rest. ~ Essie

Praying for Life
You cannot give water when your own glass is empty. What do you do when you need to refill it? Poem 101 of 365 – Dear God, Thank you for another day that I’m alive.I know I should be grateful,But all I feel is dead inside.It’s been like this for a few days now,And I can’t […]
