Climbing this mountain, I embarked with no preparation,
No research to guide me, no plans for navigation.
I was not equipped, nor did I see the height,
Yet I took the first step, with my faith as my light.
The summit seemed distant, hidden far from view,
At times, it felt like this mountain stretched beyond the blue.
Endless and towering, with no clear end in sight,
I forgot the beginning, as day blended with night.
Each step I took, though heavy with doubt,
Was a reminder that giving up was not the way out.
Though the journey grew rough, and the path steep and long,
I pressed forward, finding strength in God’s song.
Crying in moments, I asked why this pain?
Why was this burden placed on me again?
What had I done to deserve this test?
Yet still, I carried on, knowing I was blessed.
In my weakest moments, when I felt drained,
God’s provision came, refreshing me when I was pained.
A spring of water appeared when I needed it most,
A reminder that He is with me, a comforting host.
I stumbled and fell, my wounds cut deep,
But in my heart, I knew I couldn’t sleep.
Though my feet bled and my body was sore,
I refused to give up, for the Lord had more in store.
The thought of surrendering was never the way,
For God had promised to strengthen me each day.
I pressed on with courage, not looking back,
For my journey was guided by His unwavering track.
Then, in a moment, when hope seemed lost,
I saw the summit, despite the cost.
With a rush of joy and newfound might,
I ran toward the peak, my heart full of light.
The pain faded, my wounds no longer in sight,
For God’s strength renewed me, and I took flight.
At the top, though weary, I stood with pride,
Knowing God had walked with me, right by my side.
God, I ask for healing, for strength to restore,
To walk beside You forevermore.
Through trials and struggles, You’ve been my guide,
And I long to walk with You, in You, I abide.
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
