When Mercies Are New

Today I feel overwhelmed. My body is fighting within me. My mind is unable to concentrate or connect things. I seriously feel like I can not do everything but there is nothing I can drop....... It feels a little like drowning slowly - your brain says don't panic because otherwise you will drown but your body is saying I am taking in water and I am going to die.

God, it feels trivial to ask
I don't trust that you care
There is something wrong with my approach
Trying to live this faith on my own
I'm not altogether different than my friend
Whose faith is in herself
Selah
Hold me fast Oh Lord
In the midst of my iniquity, speak
As a drown because of my own devices
Do not turn your face from me
You do not abandon but God do you fix?
When it seems I am failing
and it is all my fault, do You come and make new?

But is that not every sin?
Is not every failure a making of yours or another?
Will I not arise to your side in the darkest of trenches?
Even as you are in a sea of your own misery, I AM.
My mercy is new every morning.
