In The Wilderness of My Soul
by Deborah Ann Belka Lord, in the wilderness of my soul, there are valleys deep and low and sometimes I wander in them not sure the direction I should go. In my doubt, I meet with despair, and my thoughts turn to giving up for in my self-seeking efforts I don't see grace raised in Your cup. In the wilderness of my soul, there are mountains high and wide and sometimes I tried to climb them in the smugness of my pride. In my own unwavering conceit, with self-sufficiency in my stride I can't reach the mountaintop without the Holy Spirit as my guide. In the wilderness of my soul, there is a highway I must prepare and make it a straightway so that Your ways, I can declare. There will be a lot of thorns and thistles, plenty of roadblocks and hurdles too but my sins I must get up and over if I want to get close and near to You. Lord, there is a wilderness in my soul, a vast land of empty spaces and long roads for me to travel on with plenty of rough places. But, I know that I'm on the right path, and in the end - it will lead to You for I'm on the road paved with mercy and I know You will see me through! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke 3:4 "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
