Loss..... an ode to depression
Sadness, loss, mourning, regret.
Oh my heart, my heavy soul,
Where have you gone,
Who has hidden my light?
Where there were songs and dancing
There is now a grey and barren place.
My life aches for these stolen things.
Oh Lord, my God, my restorer, my peace
I lift my confusion, my deep and dark thoughts,
In these silent moments I will seek the truth,
I will stay my emotions, I will sit and not flee
These days have passed before
And they will soon pass again.

I think the Lord allows us to be in the wilderness to bring us to the place where He and he alone is sufficient. Not the trappings of organised religion but Him. The wilderness is on the way to a destination - the promised land - and He can be trusted to bring us to that place :>)

unfortunately for me they always reappear, always, but not one day in the not too distant future. For now I deal with them in the 'sanctuary', they just don't exist in the praising of our King. But the ushers always kick me out of the sanctuary when the service is over. They don't understand...
The wilderness.. for me it's the place where I see him the clearest.
I hope I don't sound like someone who has got it all together. I don't. Most days I am wrestling with depression and it most always feels like the depression is winning. However, I try to remind myself of reality even though it's often too dark to see. It's my way of coping and keeping my thoughts off myself.
