Winter by Tania Bento

Winter

The trees lay bare, 

I try not to stare

But their nakedness tells a story.

They once gave shade, 

but now they're ashamed

Their leaves were their glory.

Unveiled and cold,

missing the days of old

when birds would hide their young in the trees

Loneliness was just a fear and not reality.

Dark clouds come, 

nowhere to run

This is when you're strong,

though wind and ice may hurt you

Stand tall, this is where you belong.

Prayer for Those Walking Through Their Winter

Heavenly Father, 

Creator of all seasons, let us remember that it is You who sustains the cycle of life. 

Comfort us that there is a time and a purpose for everything under the sun. 

Help us to remember that strength is built through enduring trials. 

Help us to turn to You as our Healer and understand 

That sometimes our healing comes through the trial and not in the absence of it.

In Yahshua's Name, 

Amen.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Moreover, He has set eternity in their heart—yet without the possibility that humankind can ever discover the work that God has done from the beginning to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy themselves in their lifetime. Also when anyone eats and drinks, and finds satisfaction in all of his labor, it is the gift of God." Ecclesiastes 3:11 TLV
