PLUCKED FROM THE HAND OF SATAN By Mary Ann Green

July 25, 2008

 Feeling like I was being submerged, drowning

on the ocean floor which wasn’t filled with the

beauty of God’s creatures, but with

doubt, uncertainty, fear, and anxiety

and it has been going on for years.

What does one hold on to without drowning?

 

Was Satan busy working his wiles in the world

and dragging me down with him, further away from

God than I’ve even been before, deep into the ocean of despair—

 

How am I to survive this?

Help someone—Lend a hand

I need something to hold on to—something

secure, something faithful and sure

that will keep me from the ravages of the

Evil One—Lord, don’t you hear my prayer?

 

One day a tiny sliver of light began to show, I was beginning

to surface and emerge from the ocean

into which I had plunged—

when skyward I saw a hand, the Hand of

God handing me an Anchor from above

that Anchor was His hand.

 

Hold onto to me, my Beloved, know

that I’m here, with you, and never fear

that I ever leave you.

 

 I will keep you under the

wings of my protection, as long as you

want to hold on and walk in my ways.
