I Was So discouraged, But Jesus Was There!

I’ve been to the point where

 I thought my life would end.

I felt alone...  With no one I could

 call a friend.

I’ve been to the point where

I felt “trapped within.”

The emptiness I felt.  I really didn’t

know where to begin.

I’ve been to what many would call

“life’s dead end road.

 I felt like I was carrying

a huge load.

I’ve been to the point where

 I’ve been “down on my knees.”

Wondering if there were anyone

 listening to my “desperate pleas.”

I’ve had discouraging

 thoughts enter my mind.

Any true peace or joy…

 I haven’t been able to find.

I’ve been spending time and giving it some thought…

What kind of life…  Have I really got?

The things I desired and obtained…

Come and go as quickly as they came.

As a young boy, I remember

 hearing of a savior’s love.

A gift of an abundant life,

 his gift from above.

I’ve read in the Bible where Jesus

can give true contentment.

A life filled with true joy, peace and fulfillment.

Thank you Lord for giving what no one else can give.

I know that you are with me,

each day I live!
