Lost in a vacuum of space.
I reach out but I grasp at air.
My feet dangle in the free fall,
At the mercy a motionless suspension.
Someone once told me these are how dreams are achieved.
I am, however, tempted to panic.

There's only the glimmer of faith that my feet will find solid ground.
I hold onto that faith that sustains me through the seasons of unrest.
Take heart,
It's not over.

This is the Lord's standard procedures.
In order to shape you,
You must be beaten soft.
He gave me the cup,
I might as well drink.
After all,
I take it knowing it just might have a sweet aftertaste.
The Lord lead me to it, He'll take me through it.

It's hard to have faith when you're in the thick of emotional distress, but like being the leader of a rowboat, you can't see what's ahead of you, only where you've been.

Then you can see all of his Blessings in retrospect.
