i am His little lamb

in His arms, He holds me
in His care i am
in His grace, He molds me
i am His little lamb

Voices of prayer

a hole so deep
it seems to have no bottom

a darkness so thick
it seems to be smothering

no air to breathe
no light to see

i slip

i slip

i slip.....

the depths are deep
the silence deafening

it pounds against me
it pressures my inner being...

too weak to do more
than moan...

too much in despair
to pray

the Spirit beckons me...
i reach out my hand

searching in the dark..
"listen"...

the Spirit whispers....
i hear nothing

"listen"
my ears seek any sound

then i hear it...
sounds like murmuring..

sounds like bees
searching for their hive..

"what is it ?"
i cry with voice barely heard..

nothing... i answer
but groaning and buzzing....

no sense..
just an annoying noise

"that is the sound of
prayer"
the Spirit whispers softly...

"how can it be?"
i plead....

"i hear nothing but sounds
moanings, uncomprehensible
buzzing....humming"

the Spirit reassures....
"ah.... but you do not
have......
God's ears...

those are the voices of Me,
and the many people who love you...

praying....
praying.....
praying.....

God's ears hear them...
rest now My child....
for I am with you
wherever you go..

I will lead You out.....
not in ways you might expect...
for I know your innermost being...
and I care about you..

so many people care...
their prayers for you
are sincere...

trust me..
times spent in shadows....
will be valuable in the light...

trust me...
I will not forsake you

I will be with you always
I will never let go of your hand

My love will surround you
My grace will be sufficient for you
Take my hand as we walk together
Forever
