When My Heart Lacks – A Poem by David Ritter

“When My Heart Lacks” is a calming and faith-filled reflection on God’s comfort during moments of doubt, fear, and emotional struggle. With gentle reassurance, the poem reminds us that even when our hearts feel empty, God remains close—offering peace, hope, and the gift of friendship.

When My Heart Lacks

When my heart lacks faith
And I struggle day by day
God still blesses me
In His own glorious way

When my heart lacks peace
From the battles deep within
God shelters me with grace
Protecting me from sin

When my heart lacks hope
And I want to run and hide
God’s care surrounds me
We walk onward side by side

When my heart lacks joy
In my moments of despair
God listens to words
Of every tear-soaked prayer

When my heart lacks love
with no light at tunnel’s end
God brightens the way
By sending you… my friend
