Have you ever felt like you were pushed to your absolute human limit? Physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially, spiritually. Everyone experiences it at some point in their lives. The Bible says God will not allow us to be tested beyond our ability to receive it. Yet, how many times do we feel like we are literally on the edge of what we can take? How have you handled such situations in your life? To whom did you turn for support? Let’s talk about this on Wednesday’s show.

Here is the poem that a listener named Kevin wrote about managing and emerging from a period of darkness in one’s life. It’s beautiful!

Steps of Prayer

Inspired by Jerry Usher

In this dark night stillness, a screaming silence, a pain unexplained

A despair so deep my hope is slowly drained

The hours tick slowly, alone my silent tears flowing

My struggle rages on without anyone knowing

I’m being pressed on all sides, the demons are winning

And a peek at the clock reveals the night is just beginning

After another sleepless night I resolve once again

To confront this fight, to conquer this pain

But even the thought of moving is more than I can bear

Am I alone on this journey I cry out in prayer

Then gently so gently God whispers to my heart

“I’m with you my son, just take my hand and we’ll start

Slowly a new sense of hope fills the air

As me and my God take my first steps of prayer
