The well of darkness and depression runs deep within a lot of us from time to time. With others it can be a constant form of debilitating illness with only an occasional light at the end of the tunnel. For individuals that never see any relief from any source of light, their life must only be a torturous hell on earth. This is written as an attempt to express some of the fear and maybe a little relief to anyone suffering with degrees of depression. The

Jerry Davis 5-18-00 The well is deep, the well is dark. Only God knows the way out. The family is good, there is no one to blame. Stresses of life run high, but at this moment they seem uncontrollable. The work I am doing can only be for good and it must end well. Long hours, late nights of study, problems to solve and decisions to make. Souls need my help and I am here for them, I am here for them. I must provide for family; I must help others around me; I have to come out of this darkness. Decisions have to be made; the loneliness of the dark is unspeakable. Good decisions, bad decisions, God I need your help. God you said you would be on my side. The well is dark; the well is deep, only you know the way out. I am sure this will pass in a day or two, I hope. If it doesn’t pass Lord I know I cannot continue. I have made some bad choices Lord and now I must face the souls I have hurt. Do I have to face the same problems again today Lord? The souls all look like they need me and I don’t have the strength to face each one. I have to make some things right, you see. The fear of the choices seems here to stay. If you can forgive me Lord and ease my fear, maybe tomorrow I can find my way. Show me the way out Lord; I know you know the way. I have to make it Lord; too many people are waiting for my help. I know I can’t solve all the problems today. Maybe I can solve one today and some tomorrow with your help. One day at a time, dear Jesus, one day at a time. The well is dark, the well is deep, only you
know the way out. |
