Surrendering the burden of myself

Listen to this post: http://www.turtleboxstories.com/audio/surrenderingtheburden.mp3
I am brokenness,
and also healing
 
 
I am weak, but able
to tap inner strength
 
 
I may hurt,
yet can find the
prayerful place in myself
 
 
My pain overwhelms me
until I surrender
from within
 
 
I feel diminished, devalued
and still have a piece
of Divinity dwelling in me
 
 
I am nothing
and everything
 
 
I feel alone and isolated,
yet sense You covering me,
holding me, living
in me
 
 
I may think no one
cares or understands,
then I remember Jesus
is here and he
knows the depths of
my sorrows and pain
 
 
When I am too full
of carrying the burdens
of the world, when my
back sags and shoulders
ache, I remember to
lay them down
 
 
When I believe all
is lost, that life
is just too difficult,
You help me find
peace, courage and serenity
from new depths I am
just discovering
 
 
When I lash out at
myself and others,
You gently remind me
that’s my anger, not
me because I am
also Your reflection
 
 
When all hope ceases
and I cry for an end,
that is when I feel
Your presence most
and regocnize I have
never been alone
 
 
You live within me, not
just above or around,
but inside as a
constant companion
