Why is it that new grief resurrects old grief in our soul. As a survivor of child sexual abuse I am no
stranger to sadness. I had to fight
though the fog of depression, in order for one foot to step in front of the
next. Years later, a trial that ushers
in grief just opens the flood gates to that past grief that I feel has been
processed, grieved, and tucked away. All
I can pray is God, please take this cup.
Please don’t let it overflow, overrun and flood my heart, my spirit and
into my whole life. Take this cup and
let me stand in your strength to know that there is no trial that You and I can’t
manage. Help usher me through the
darkness to the light, and not linger in doubt, confusion or sadness. Please Lord give me light, take the weight of
sorrow and give me peace, your kind of peace that passes all understanding and
says that I can do ALL things through You Christ Jesus, who strengthens me.
