Can You Hear Me? By Tanya Merced

Restless and Anxious knock on my door.

Can’t wait for the opportunity to distract me and reject

the promises that were given from my Lord.

They call out my name and promise me things that sound really great, and yet I

hesitate.

Learned from the past what a big mistake it was to let them in.

Restless and Anxious had become a permanent resident in my home.

Can You Hear Me?

I cry out to the One who promised to be there no matter what.

SILENCE…SILENCE…SILENCE

Restless and Anxious continue to knock, but this time I noticed

that the noises are quite comforting.

I am getting closer and closer to letting them in.

Can You Hear Me?

I reach for the door and I am about to invite Restless and Anxious once more.

A familiar voice calls out my name and says Here I Am.

I have always been here by your side, I am the one who has given you the strength,

the comfort to withstand those uninvited guests.

But like I have told you and will remind you once again.

I am your deliverer, your refuge, your helper in time of need.

Psalm 18:6 (NIV)In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
