Now this is what the Lord says.
He created you, people of Jacob;
He formed you, people of Israel.
He says "Don't be afraid, because I have saved you.
I have called you by name, and you are Mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
When you cross rivers, you will not drown.
When you walk through fire, you will not be burned,
nor will the flames hurt you.
This is because I, the Lord, am your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."
Isaiah 43:1-3
seasons come pressing hard
the road He places before you
seemingly more than you can bear
darkness black surrounds
waters deep threaten
once a gentle stream
now a raging river
heaviness overwhelms
loneliness
alone
dreams shattered
hopes crushed
broken
weary
battle scarred
He will never abandon a heart broken
a heart treated unfairly
a heart weeping
a heart lost
wounded hearts receive His mercy
broken hearts receive
His tender touch
He hears worship broken
He sees hands raised high
even though the heart is breaking
even if tears are the only
words uttered
even if the hallelujah
rising through hands outstretched
comes from a heart weary
a heart struggling to make sense of it
a heart barely hanging on
a heart ready to give up
though the storm He whispers
"My child...no heart is closer to My own
than the broken one
I will never leave you
I am closer to your heart
than your next breath
no hallelujah is heard more clearly
than one rising through
arms outstretched
tears flowing
I see all
I hear all
I know all
you are not alone
I have called you by name and
you are Mine
I will carry you through"
Abba
