Book Description: “The Book Of The Cries Of Loneliness” is a book that God asked me to write. In the midst of this journey that God has called me into I have found there is a sweetness to the loneliness of my heart. The deep loneliness that burns in my heart each day draws me closer to the Lord. The loneliness reminds me that I am not alone, God is with me. Each time the tears fall and the pain swells in my heart, each time I look out the window and think of all the people, the married ones, the kids with their friends, I remember that this is temporary. I am also reminded that there are others like me who are alone or feel alone. It’s a terrible feeling… an almost helpless pain. And it is a pain that drives us into so many dark places in an attempt to take that pain away. This book has been written for anyone who feels alone, lonely, or hopeless. This book is my gift to you. It is a collection of writings, poems, and psalms expressing loneliness. I know that when you listen to them, you’ll realize you’re not alone in this world. God is with me, and He is with you as well. Welcome to The Book Of The Cries Of Loneliness.

A Glimpse Inside:

Chapter 1: Have You Forgotten Me?

Another day has dawned,

And I wake into the quiet,

The stillness,

I look at my phone,

And it’s empty,

Void,

No messages,

Is no one thinking of me?

Then I remember that You have called me to be here,

In this quiet and still place.

Have You Forgotten Me?

Cast me aside from the world?

Am I not worthy of a life like others have?

I stand at the window,

And look out at the world,

Oh look!

There is a married couple,

Dancing a dance together by a fireplace,

And there that father is fishing with his kids,

And that mother there at the park, the swing going back and forth,

And look, a group of friends laughing and talking as they pass by,

And the burning tears fall,

First one,

Then another,

Then the damn breaks and the sobs roll,

I press my hand against the glass,

Bow my head and cry,

Lord, Have You Forgotten Me?

In this quiet and still place!

Have You Forgotten Me?

Cast me aside from the world?

Am I not worthy of a life like others have?

Then I remember that You have called me to be here,

I remember you asked me to get away alone with you,

To listen to your still, small voice,

Your whisper,

To spend some time with you,

And I ask myself, “Is that enough?”

Oh, the shame,

To feel this way,

Forgive me Father,

And now I just sob,

And you draw close again,

Wrap your strong arms around me,

And just hold me as I cry,

As I die,

I said anything for you,

I offered you everything,

And here I am,

Doing what you’ve asked,

The cost,

Everything,

Lord, will it be worth it?

Show me,

Encourage me,

Lift me up and stand me firm on the rock of your will,

Let me finish the work you’ve called me to do!

Let me listen and write the words you say,

This is all on you,

But here I am again,

Offering everything!

Take it all!

These tears are my offering to you,

Let them be like a sweet incense to you,

This dying to myself, And living for you.

Chapter 52: The Impossible

I’m so lonely,

So impossibly lonely,

So alone,

Not belonging to one world,

OR the other,

Just here,

You asked me,

You asked this of me,

You knew I’d say “Yes” to You,

And I did,

But this,

This impossible journey,

This lonely road,

This Solitude,

This Obscurity,

The tears,

The endless,

Lonely,

Tears,

Why is this the road I must walk?

Why is this the journey You asked of me?

I look behind,

No one follows,

I look ahead,

And no one comes into view,

Beside be,

Walks no one,

Just You,

Always with me,

Always,

But my heart aches,

And my eyes burn,

Impossible,

Impossible,

Hold me tightly Father,

Tightly all the way home,

To be forever Yours,

With the world in tow,

If this is the way,

Your way for me,

Then I’ll walk it, Alone.
