Aug 11th, 2023: A Young Bride's Prayers

It is indeed a broken dream,

Love's promise once did gleam,

A young bride collapsed, her heart undone,

Her prayers rose, like the setting sun.

Her beloved's laughter lingers and fills in the air,

Remember shared moments, a love so rare,

But life cruelties did intervene,

And now she's left in a place she has never been.

Her prayers take flight on wings of pain,

Seeking solace, some peace to gain,

"Why did life play this cruel test?

Robbing our love, leaving my hearts oppressed?"

With every whispered word, she yearns,

For strength to feel what still burns,

To find the courage to face this day,

To navigate a life turned gray.

Her tears, like rain, pouring down,

As she prays for faith in Jesus to hold her ground,

To cherish memories, love's sweet trace,

And find the light in sorrow's embrace.

In her prayers, hope begins to bloom,

A fragile bud amidst the gloom,

She finds the strength to carry on,

A love eternal, though he is gone.

Through whispered prayers, she finds her way,

Through night's dark veil, to welcome each day,

A young bride's heart, forever changed,

In prayers, her love remains, unscathed.

Psalm 73:26

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Psalm 34:18

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
