Where were you?

Where were You when I've needed You?
Where did I have to go to find You?
What I was feeling, was like a slow death.
Who did I turn to? Not You.
I didn't know what else to do.
They told me You were the one to turn to.
Where were You when I've needed You?
You've been right here.

My name is For_Him, and I am a Christian.

Thank you. This poem describes what I've been feeling lately. Me being a young christian, I've had a lot of troubles, and I didn't turn God to help me through. I thought I could handle them myself. I was wrong. There's a lot of stuff that we have to give up while we're following God. I've kept holding on to some of those things. I've been stumbling a lot lately, which led me to writing this poem. I'm not much of a poet, and I just write down what I've been feeling. Hence the poem 'Where Were You?' was born. People are free to post on this thread if they like it. I might write a new one sometime in the near future.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me last year.
Most of my poetry was written when I was feeling down and lost. I didn't realize how encouraging they really were until I went back and read them.

That's what David did--he encouraged himself in the Lord.
