when we are in that place

it is hard to feel God

we don’t sense God’s presence

in a dark place, alone,

in a state of depression

when we are in that place

which may be all too familiar

unable to see God

our His plan for our lives

when we are in that place

in a downward spiral

feeling no one can understand

this pain in our journey

depressed, struggling,

within our faith journey

needing to pray, to be quiet,

to begin to feel God’s presence.
