Lord, I have me a mountain,
I need You to remove
I have me a situation
only You can improve.
I got me a dilemma,
that needs to be resolved
I have me a problem
I need You to be involved.
Lord, I have me a river,
it’s as wide as it is deep
I have me a complication
that I don’t want to keep.
I have a clear view,
of the storm that’s ahead
I have me an idea
it’s going to be widespread.
Lord, I’m between a rock,
and a place called hard
I am going to need You
to be my safeguard!

Proverbs 3:5-6
King James Version
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.”

Sister Debbie, I’ve been in this place called hard for quite a while, and this poem cut right into that place, with words that I, too, have prayed. This was poignant and beautiful…
“Lord, I’m between a rock,
and a place called hard
so I am going to need You
to be my constant guard.
Lord, I’m placing my life,
in the palm of Your hand
trusting this predicament . . .
is just a part of Your plan!”
When we’re in that place, it’s so important for us to remember that the only thing we can do is to trust in Him. I loved this – I think it’s one of my favorites of yours.
Love and blessings,
Cheryl
