Dear Child

Dear Child

I see you in your pit.

I hear your moans and groans.

I know the depth of your pain.

I feel your disappointment.

When you cry out my name, I hear you.

I come to you. I sit with you in your pit of despair.

I am so close.

I am your comforter.

People will try and speak words of comfort or give you platitudes.

They try to bring you comfort with their well-meaning words.

I comfort your heart.

I am the one who will give you true peace.

It’s ok to lament.

I need my children to be real and honest.

Pour it all out onto me.

Even the words you can’t articulate.

I hear your sighs.

I can take it all. I have broad shoulders.

I see your helplessness.

Hope comes when you come into my presence.

I am your hope.

Keep calling my name.

I am always attuned to your voice.

Love from your Heavenly Father

“I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.”

Lamentations 3:55 NIV

“You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.””
