Speechless

Deathly pale in light of the vision. No strength. 

Alone and overwhelmed to the point of exhaustion, Daniel drops. Face to the ground. 

Powerless. Speechless. Unable to breathe.

And the Lord responds to His servant. With tenderness and strength.

Wordless

Wordless. I don’t know what to say. How to pray. 

But longing stirs. Hunger to hear Your voice. See Your lamp shining in the dark. 

I try to look ahead. Nearsighted vision blurs the future. Shapes without edges loom. Nothing is clear.

So I open the Scriptures. Hold Your Word close. And read in black and white, words on the page.
