The Looming Wall

Pixabay photo, adapted from original for The Looming Wall

This wall looms.
It pops up out of nowhere,
It raises its ugly head.

A wall of dread ~
Of what might happen,
Of what life may bring.

A wall of uncertainty ~
Of not knowing for sure,
Of not seeing in full.

A wall of hurt ~
Of getting lost in the pain,
Of thinking others don’t care.

A wall of perplexity ~
Of overwhelming trouble,
Of impossible circumstances.

A wall of despair ~
Of losing hope,
Of seeing no way through.

This wall looms ~
Always wanting its way,
Always threatening to stay.

Until God’s path shines ~
It is always right on time,
It is faithful and true.

A path of peace ~
That He is in control,
That He will not leave.

A path of assurance ~
That He goes before,
That His ways are good.

A path of comfort ~
That He understands,
That He really cares.

A path of power ~
That He is greater,
That He can do anything.

A path of promise ~
That He will come through,
That He will make a way.

God’s path is sure.
Always forging through,
Always leaping over walls that loom.

By You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall.
Psalm 18:29

Sue Nash/ 2013
