The Hardest Words

Sometimes “it’s up to you” are the hardest words to hear

Deeply hidden insecurities cry out, they doubt

They yearn for instruction, direction, coercion

But it never comes. This time I’m on my own

I protests, struggle, wonder, crying, “Where art thou?”

And the answer comes, “I never abandon; I merely trust in you.”

  1. Excellent entry. Making big decisions (and even little ones) is extremely difficult. But don't take counsel from your fears :-) Follow your heart and all will fall into place as it needs to.

    My dad always tells me that we miss out on 99% of life's opportunities. Not because we want to, or because we're being punished. That's just simply how it goes. Thank goodness for the atonement, right? None of your righteous desires will go unfulfilled in the end.

  2. True. Thanks Katie. As long as I am sincerely striving to do the right thing and I am using the correct decision-making criteria, I know I'll be happy with my decision(s).

    Dads are wise folks.

  3. ya, they are. Especially because they tell us things we usually don't want to hear. But then we are very grateful that they choose to be dads rather than fair-feathered friends.
