For You Are My Healer Poem by Yehoshua Shim'onai

How ruined is my heart, O Great I AM!
. How painful is the wound in my soul!
. I pray, O God, that You would heal me
. restore my injured soul!

For this night, I was hurt by a man's
. words,
. and his speech is like a sword to
. my soul;
. he was like a club man hitting a sheep
. for his words have injured my
. vulnerable soul.

He spoke of my weakness
. and insulted me with my folly,
. He pounded me with my shame
. and hurt me with my negativity.

And this night, I am restless in pain
. and restless with wound
. in my soul;
. bitterness is about to conquer
. my heart
. and resentment rises up in me.

Why is he despising me?
. Why is he disdainful of me?
Why is he so ungentle to me
. and so harsh to my heart?

Now, search upon my heart, O
. Great I AM,
. and know every corner of my
. mind
. for nothing is hidden before Your
. very eyes
. and nothing will I ever take
. away from Your sight!

And now heal my heart, O God
. for it is in pain, and restore
. my soul, my Lord, for it is injured;
. let Your love comfort me from
. bitterness and may Your grace
. bind my brokenness,
. for You are my Healer!
