I have a loved one Who is in an abusive, controlling marriage. Things have been very turbulent lately, and I fear for her well being as well as the emotional consequences the relationship will have on the two children in the home. The other night, I had a nightmare about this family. The above poem represents the experience I had from the time I went to sleep, through the dream, through my anxiety, and how my faith in Jesus Christ brought me calm and serenity so that I could go back to sleep.

So He guided them to their desired haven.
