Sometimes I am overwhelmed
By the twists and turns of my road
I feel alone
Insignificant
Stumbling in the dark.
But I am reminded
I am never alone
I don’t have to be afraid
I am significant
And I am not lost in the dark.
Overwhelm is only temporary
And can be overcome
In a matter of moments
For I am led
By the One
Who watches over me
And He brings wisdom
And clarity.
So I sit at His feet
And trust
That He will lead me home
I trust
He will keep me strong
I trust
He will light my path
And make smooth
The jagged rocks
Cutting my feet.
The blood of my soles
Soaks the ground
When I trust in myself
But when I trust Him
He orders my steps
And heals my wounds.
My mistakes
Become lessons
My wounds
Become scars
My scars
Become victories
And under His leadership
My soul
Becomes whole.

Thank you Otiti. I read this and glorify God Almighty, El Shaddai. He who is always there; guiding, lighting, and protecting our ways.

Hiiii, my author! Yes, so true! Even when we don’t feel it or think it can be possible, God is always there and He’s never too far away to flood us with His love and presence!
Thank you for being here. 🙂
Annita says
This is a very powerful piece, Otiti!
Otiti Jasmine says
Heeey, Annita! Thank you so much! It’s funny how you write something, read it years later, and it ministers to you all over again. So much to discover about our identity in Christ on a daily basis!
