Heavenly therapy--By Andrew Ntchindi Jere--Malawi

Heavenly therapy

Weary of self-trials in lifting off hardships

My head tilted up into the sky; knees bowed

Constant prayer resonates from my lips

Looking for a speck of dark cloud

My open hands raised up into worship

Waiting to receive a light of heavenly hope

From the Lord of great stewardship,

Like Israelites traveling to a land of milk and honey

My tongue denied a taste of any deliciousness

No food piles up my stomach base;

Craving for a comeback of righteousness

To manifest in spirit from paradise

My eyes turn red from lacking a blink

As they peruse through the Christian dictionary

Searching for an understanding to fill the blank

So that I am no longer earthly stationary

The confession of my in-depth worries

To the greatest therapist in heaven

Frees my mind full of problem series,

Success and restoration attained through His sessions
