I Am In Your Hands


No human can give me, what you give me.
I've tried to listen to all the voices, but there is no voice, like your voice.
Friends and well-wishers cheer me on, some even chastise me.
Some give me well thought out solutions, solutions that will work for anyone else, but they do not work for me!
My life has always been in your hands, dear God.
Like the  friends of Job, they can only see what their eyes allow them to see.
They have limited vision because they are human.
They only know what they want for themselves.
I've always received word from you, a message that has always been very clear.
I've always depended upon your voice to guide me in my darkest hours.
I have always trusted your word.
Your word has been declared over my life many times.
And without fail, you have delivered me.
I have declared your word over the lives of others, and without fail, you delivered them.
What is so special about this time?
Why is it, that your voice seems so far away.
It seems like you have forsaken me.
I know, in my heart of hearts, that is not true.
You have never forsaken me.
You have never left me alone.
When I thought I was alone before, I found myself surrounded by your love.
Mama used to say, prayer brings life.
I am never going to leave your presence.
I'm never going to leave your fellowship.
I will just draw closer to you.
You have very strong hands.
You hold the universe in your hands.
You control the cosmos.
You authored the evolution of time.
I was hidden in you, from the beginning.
My course was marked off, my steps were ordered.
You went before me, and  prepared my way.
You went to my last breath, and then came back to my first breath and set the scope of my life.
You smiled and said I love you my son.
You said, my life is in your hands.
No one can take it from you.
You said to me, "you will have hills and mountains.
You will have valley moments.
There will be hurdles.
I have given of my promise.
Do not be afraid of the enemies that plot your demise.
Do not be afraid up his threatenings.
For I will set you up on a rock, I will set you out of the reach of them all.
You are in my hands.
Your first breath praised me.
In my presence during your worship, your breath became one with my breath.
In prayer, we breathe the same breath.
In your darkest hours I gave you breath.
Breathe me in now. 
I am the breath of life.
In an appointed time, in your last breath, you will thank me.
