Darkness

For all those people that need encouraging to keep going, to persevere through the bad or dark times, Keep going.

Darkness

As I walk this road, a long and windy road

Darkness sets in and the light diminishes

Like a candle being extinguished

or a torch slowly fading as the darkness overwhelms it

Fear plays on my mind as my eyes see things in the shadows

My mind casts back to why I started this journey

And the fears disappear

Things seemed so right back there

In the light, but now doubt plagues me

Did I do the right thing?

Was this really want God intended for me?

I must keep walking this road

Confusion sets in, I lose my bearings

Which way have I come?

What challenges am I yet to face

I cling onto the vision that sets me on this road

No one else is on the road

No guidance, no comfort

Just loneliness in the darkness

Faith tells me God is with me

On this road, that pushes me forward

Into the blackness

I know God is there,

but he remains silent in my prayers

We walk on together, in silence but persistent

One day this darkness will vanish

The light will penetrate and chase the darkness away

Like walking out or a dark tunnel into the blinding light

That day, that hope keeps me going

Encourages me to push through the darkness along this road

However long it may be I will keep going

I won’t quit, I just want to do it.
