When all has gone quiet
And you hear nothing
You see naught
You cry
Help

But there’s none to answer
You search for something
You find nothing
You scream
Help

Life has passed you by
No husband is present
Kids are absent
You whisper
Help

Jesus, I know you’re here
But I sense nothing
All is pointless
I mutter
Help

Where are you my precious Lord?

Here
Very near
I love you
You are my treasure
I will never leave you

Listen
Be still
I speak softly
Attune your auditory senses
Know that I am God

Trust
Be confident
I know all
I’ve counted your tears
I am ever with you

Wait
Be patient
I will come
Suddenly out of nowhere
As a bolt of lightning
