A thousand nights, sleep hides away,
circling 'round, delaying landing,
I've poured my heart out onto paper,
things never spoken aloud,
astounded by the clarity
4 am silence brings~
~Usually, I am kept from sleep
by all that surfaces
when stillness comes, & I can hear
the truths my heart's whispering~
~Last night, Father, I knew You were
keeping sleep from me,
gently speaking into my spirit,
revealing what I asked to see~
"Here is the way, walk now in it,
forget what came before,
the wandering, the resistance,
before you is an opening door,
you wondered how the mish-mash of your life
would work together...
...Well, now you know I planned it all,
& have had this plan forever,
& you must choose to walk by faith
like you can't even see
the obstacles I will remove
when you fully depend on Me..."
I woke up different, knowing now
there's no turning away
from what You've shown me I'm to do,
I will press on, & stay
right here on the narrow path,
& trust tomorrow will bring
Your guidance & Your provision,
& another new song to sing!
