by Mark Weinrich

When I feel lost 
in the mundane 
moods of everyday,
my heart cries
the maze of circumstances 
has swallowed me whole.

The Lord is not disinterested
or bored with my struggles.
He is ever listening, ever attentive.
He hasn’t tuned me out.
He delights to hear me call 
by faith and know
His love and mercy
are never on hold.
I have His attention
as if I were an only
child.
