MY SOUL IS GREATLY TROUBLED

The Body is weakened and fear mounts;

Doubts come and questions abound!

Is the Lord angry and displeased?

What can the Soul do to find release?

 

The Mind is in a whirl and no answers are easily found;

Troubles have not abated, and evil continues to surround.

The Soul must lay hold of trust in the LORD’s mercy;

Prayers must ascend to God even more earnestly.

 

The Soul is greatly troubled and there is little comfort;

Every bit of energy must be put in, with great effort.

Prayers must continue to be outpoured to God;

Surely, there is yet mercy with the LORD!

 

Trust in the LORD will sometimes be thoroughly tested;

The strength of the inner man must arise and be measured.

The LORD will hear our heartfelt cries and will grant mercy;

This is a truth that we must hold fast to in all our difficulties.
