“The Freakness (sic) Race” (Matt.26:41) [Pandemic Series]
The “Preakness Race”, of Triple Crown.
For most of us (once beaten down),
Might best be termed the “Freakness Race.”
As we freak out, or face dis-grace.Lord, Friday afternoon is bad
For folks like us – with context sad;
Not sure how others cope these days,
As things collapse in many ways.Lord, as the weekend comes once more,
And life implodes outside each door,
I pray for those who, on this day,
Have little else but “Watch and pray”.I hope, like on that final day
Of life for You, they find a way
To look more up, then out today,
And in Your loving arms might stay.Lord, Job went through all this in You –
Faced life, and knew not what to do;
He’d lost it all, or pretty much,
All ’cept his “Friends” who kept in touch –As well as wife, and one more guy,
And You, who did not let him die,
Though he was wrecked – it all collapsed;
His days for hope in life now passed.The question raised still haunts me, Lord –
“How are you doing with your sword
And armaments against the foe
(That’s satan) – “I’m not well, You know”.That would be our response, as well –
As we encounter bits of hell;
Lord, help us to abide in You,
And learn today what we should do.“Well, Stu, it’s now you know the score,
As you peruse what’s out your door –
Response was too simplistic then –
Let’s take another look, again –“Then maybe we can open up
A way for all that’s not so tough;
So hang in, Stuie babe, that’s all,
As you engage once more that wall.Thanks Lord for this.
