All They Need Do Is Ask


Darkness pressed in from all sides.

Ever-present and seemingly powerful.

Yet, as I prayed, through the darkness came a hand,

Glowing bright and clear.



I grabbed at it, desperate to get out.

It pulled me, and the darkness broke and reformed again as I passed through.

I looked back,

What I thought was darkness, was just my friends.



I longed to help them, to bring them from that darkened place.

I looked at the one, to whom the hand belonged, and pleaded.

His eyes shone like fire and when he spoke, the earth trembled.

All they need do is ask.



I looked back at my friends and began to shout,

Only to have echoes return as my words fell on deaf ears.

My face wet with tears, I fell to my knees at the feet of my rescuer.



I begged, I pleaded, and I prayed,

But all to no avail.

Because all He ever said was,

All they need do is ask.



Calming myself, I looked at Him.

And I asked Him what I must do to help them.

He looked at me and simply said,

Tell them about me,

And what I’ve done for you,

It is I who will do the rest.
