You are my portion, O Lord,
You are all that I need
Your goodness fills me up
when on your Word, I feed.
The measure of Your grace,
fills me to the brim
for, when I study and read
Your sufficiency sets in.
With each verse that I tuck,
deep down in my heart
my joy becomes complete
as eternal hope, You impart.
I find peace in each Word,
and the promises they hold
for, they satisfy and keep
my heart from growing cold.
The degree of my faith,
can be found on each page
and the amount of my trust
in Your power is my gauge.
The scriptures refresh me,
they bring peace to my soul
and I find true contentment
knowing You are in control!

Amen Deb. Just knowing that God is in control of our circumstances makes them easier to handle. It doesn’t negate the pain of our situation, it just makes it easier to bear, knowing that He loves us, and He will cause even our worst circumstances to work together for our good, as long as we continue to love Him and follow His call.
Your entire poem was beautiful, but my spirit truly rejoiced when I read these lines:
“and I find true contentment
knowing You are in control!”
God bless you beloved sister,
Cheryl
