I’m pressing on,
till these problems are gone
I’m moving forward
with my eyes looking upward.
I’m trusting God,
and the guidance of His rod
I’m letting go
knowing the way He will show.
I’m going slowly,
keeping my life before Him lowly
I’m praying that my Savior
will soon grant me His favor.
I’m believing in His leading,
and I’m practicing my heeding
I’m doing my best
and letting God do the rest.
I’m pressing on,
till these problems are gone
I’m pressing towards the goal
with all my heart and soul!
~~~~~~~~
“Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect: but I follow after,
if that I may apprehend that for which also
I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.”

Lovely poem. Always looking ahead for Him is how I live day to day. No day-in, day-out for this gal. So glad to have read this today!

Me too–pressing on!! True, it never ends (on earth), but we usually get a nice break between the “presses”. God bless you.

Yes, between the “presses” there is a time of peace and calm, but I try not to get too complacent for when I do I find myself becoming too self-reliant. ~ Blessings ~

Lovely! The next verse says “putting aside those things that so easily beset us, looking forward to the prize before us…”- one of my favorites. But now, how does one truly put behind them the Boston Marathon incident, without the Holy Spirit to guide? Masterpiece, Deborah!

So heartbreaking Daryl, I find it hard to wrap my mind around these violent acts. The only way I can press on is to indeed give my thoughts over to the Lord and pray . . . Come quickly Lord Jesus, and bring your peace to a sick and hurting world. Amen and Amen!
