Seeking an answer


If only You would talk to me
that I might know Your plan,
I would submit consensually
and leave, or take, this man.
But now I simply do not know
or pretend to understand,
how this thing that hurts me so,
receives Your silent command.
You could give me clarity
amidst this jumbled chaos,
and help me to see clearly,
what is gain and what is loss.
Instead, You keep Yourself aloof
and withhold Your Godly wisdom,
when I need Your Holy Spirit proof
that this will advance Your Kingdom.

But this is not the entire truth,
for I think that I did hear You.
Or was it but my own self-soothe?
I wish I had a clue.
Do our voices sound the same,
and is that why I can’t hear You?
And where do I then place the blame
when it turns out this was not true?
So, once more I will seek an answer
and come to You in humbled prayer;
should I leave things as they were,
or show this man how much I care?
