Are you held captive by your grief of loved ones? Do you watch family members trapped in the depths of a glass bottle of alcohol or are trapped with end-of-life news from a cancer diagnosis?
Are you watching, feeling, and experiencing all of this turmoil, and yet you are hiding pain so deep it is drowning you? Do you feel you have no strength left, but you pray for a way out, wondering if He is there?
This realization crashed on me for nearly three years, making my grieving so much more in-depth and leaving me in a complicated mess. My world was turned upside down, and I was headed straight to the bottom.
How can one walk uprightly with the Lord when you lack stability, direction, and hope? How can one find God in their extremities? I always knew I could pray and that God was there for me, but I needed to talk and share my pain to get the swirling thoughts out of my head. The solution? Writing! How can something as simple as pen and paper bring clarity to such a lost soul? The answers came through writing, and my hope rose.
As my hands flew across the keyboard in an attempt to express my pain, I found His healing Hands entering and surrounding me with His love. My heart collected these, and they became my psalms.
My Pain for His Glory shares prose, thoughts, and poetry, expressing my emotional journey to find strength and healing with the Lord In this book, you will find:
