Marooned

I have an incredible capacity to maroon myself in life's rocky gorges and perilous mountain ledges.
In this season of joy and peace, I hear again with piercing clarity God's promise to deliver me from the dangerous places I myself chose, leveling every obstacle to my safe journey home

When I am lost in the thorns and thickets of my own foolishness -- comfort me, Lord.

When I am trapped in the ways that lead me far from you -- comfort me, Lord.

When I am beset and besieged by the voices not your own -- comfort me, Lord.

When I am caught in dark places -- comfort me, Lord.
