Whatever May Be

I’m Letting go,

Yet maintaining hope

Letting go of pride,

yet holding on to dignity

Privacy, no more a right

I hold on to Your security

My heart is full

My soul is secure

I rest in You

My sufficiency is in You

Trading my pain

I count it as joy

I’m held by Your hand

Never letting go of hope

Letting go of control

I learn to breathe

To know it’s okay

Whatever may be

You are my strength

My sufficiency

Letting go of all my dreams

Yet knowing You can bring them

Back to life

Stretched thin, yet not without hope

All I have is You

If You are not with me

I perish

The waves crash

The wind howls

The rain pelts

The cold penetrating my skin

Reminds me that all I have is Your promise

“I will never leave you, nor forsake you”

I remember Your promise and steady my gaze

Not on circumstances but the truth of Your words

Your words are life

They are truth

Blessings will come as I look to You

Stripped of everything that I held dear

I am learning to lean on You

Trading my own strength for Yours

A seed that dies in the soil

Yields itself to the ground and finds

New life

New identity

New purpose

A whole new perspective as

A shoot springs forth

Faith, a new beginning

Resurgence of life

The power of Christ in me
