Hesitation to Call: & God’s Rescue | A Christian Poem on Anxiety and Seeking the Lord
Suffering is a part of the human experience, whether it comes through anxiety, trauma, or the burdens of PTSD. But even in the darkest moments, God’s presence offers a path to healing. This Christian poem explores the hesitation we often feel to pray when we’re overwhelmed, yet it reminds us that God is always ready to comfort us. Healing begins when we step beyond our fear and speak to Him, no matter how broken we feel.
Through poetry, I share the reality of suffering—and the hope I find in God’s presence. If you’ve ever felt trapped in your trauma or struggled to reach out to the Lord, this piece is for you.
Hesitation to Call: & Gods Rescue
So much I have to live for;
For God is whom I love
To serve Him best is active
Though a weight upon my chest
Dismembers me, and prevents
My mouth from baring praise
I seek His will but still I stall
In ominous awareness.
My plight is heavy,
I wish to speak.
Airways immobile
Alarm I cultivate
satan cannot stop me
My God, I know will provide
Drive this out of me
This stake at my heart.
Force my lips to part, O God
This prayer I need to start.
Vexed I have not spoken
Yet, I will prevail
His help I need to even utter
God please, let it be now
The words begin to flourish
Out, they indeed pour
Help me God, I need you
To life, I must endure
Encumbrances galore before me,
I need your strength and might
Prevent me from ruin, O God
Suffocate my demise.
His ear turns towards me
As it always does;
Fluidly He’s constant
As if the morning sun
Never shall He leave me,
Forsake me He will not.
It is I who pauses, and
Begins to seek Him not.
Solace enters in me
Swiftly, as a wind
At the point of recognition to
The One True Living God.
He receives the sought I give
Mutism is a wonder.
It is a choice to fail
Why have I left me here to suffer?
Through Him do I capture
confidence for what lies ahead
Rebuke this fear within me, God
Blind my heart for faith.
Unvoiced I’ll only suffer so
With Him I find relief
His calmness saturates my soul
To this I have belief.
As we navigate the struggles of anxiety and hesitation, remember that God's presence is always there, ready to comfort and guide us. Prayer is a powerful way to overcome doubt, find peace, and trust in His rescue, no matter how heavy our hearts may feel.
