My mind is clouded
by years of pain
many inches of rain
flooding my mind
with nothingness.
Even in the fog
you can see the brightest light
when you lose sight
but clarity fails you
and understanding is gone.
Wandering in the mist
You thought you were strong
trying to make sense of a new song
The haze in many ways
makes the mind go crazy.
Where is my lighthouse
that guidance I long for
leading me to the shore
My hope for direction
grows weaker with each moment.
BUT all along
the brightest light in the distance
shined in every instance
never fading
never lost.
I come to the realization
the fog is an illusion
when I’m seeking a resolution
and I knew all along
my direction was towards the shore.
Isn’t it funny how we cloud our own vision. We clearly know the answer and the direction God is pointing us in but we let chaos and confusion come in like a flood, messing up what we already knew was the right path. God did not make us ignorant. He did not intend for us to not hear and listen to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. We complicate things that are very clear and very simple. Why does it have to be so dramatic? If we listened in the first place, could you imagine the things we could avoid or embrace. Trusting God involves trusting that you trust God and not second guessing that. Many people ask, well how do I know that God is talking to me and it’s not just me talking to myself? Honestly, you know. You know more than you give yourself credit. In some cases the only confusion in a situation is caused by you second guessing what God has told you (not trusting Him). The enemy causes discord in our lives but some of the time it is ourselves who cause the discord. What would happen if we truly trusted the intuition (the Holy Spirit) that God has given us? Why can’t things be simple? Why can’t we be sure in the decisions God leads us to make and the direction He is taking us? These are things we really need to evaluate.
I am working on simply trusting God. Key word is simply. My life can be uncomplicated if I stop complicating it. God would not do anything to cause confusion therefore He would not lead you in the wrong direction. Trust Him and the still small voice that guides you.
