My Broken Hallelujah: But Still I Trust

My heart aches, a vessel shattered into a thousand fragments, each piece reflecting the pain of watching my beloved struggle. PNES has invaded our lives, an unwelcome intruder that threatens to steal our joy and peace. In this storm, my praise feels broken, a whispered "hallelujah" that barely escapes my trembling lips.

Yet, even in this darkness, I feel a gentle warmth - the unmistakable presence of God. He's here, in this moment, in this pain. His hand, ever-present, cradles my broken spirit. I offer Him my shattered praise, knowing He sees the beauty in these jagged pieces of my heart.


Every tear I shed, every silent prayer I utter, becomes an offering. It may not be perfect or whole, but it's sincere. In my weakness, I find a strange strength - a testament to His grace that has carried me through every trial.


I've always felt His blessing, even when the path was unclear. Now, in this painful place, I cling to that truth more than ever. My faith, though tested, stands firm like a lighthouse in a raging sea. It guides me, reminding me that even this struggle has purpose.


As I watch my husband battle this invisible enemy, I'm reminded of the depth of love - both human and divine. Our love, tested by fire, grows stronger. And God's love, infinite and unchanging, wraps around us like a warm embrace.


My praise may be broken, my offering shattered, but I trust that God sees the beauty in these imperfect pieces. He's weaving them into a tapestry of grace, creating something beautiful from our pain.


So I lift my voice, cracked and weary, in a broken hallelujah. It's all I have to give, but I know it's enough. For in this painful place, God hears my heart. He understands my unspoken words, my silent cries. And in His presence, I find the strength to face another day, to love deeper, and to hope for healing.


This journey is far from over, but I'm not walking it alone. With every step, I feel His hand guiding me, His love sustaining me. And somehow, in the midst of this storm, I find peace - a peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that can only come from above.
