2022 New Year Prayer ~
Lord, may next year,
be one different . . .
from the distressing one
that is now current.
Make it one of peace,
not hatred and division
make it one where hope
everyone can envision.
Lord, may next year,
be one contrary . . .
to the one we now have
if You should tarry.
Make it one where we,
can put away our disputes
so we may focus on
Your many attributes.
Lord, may next year,
You do something new
may more people turn . . .
their lives over to You!
~~~~~~~~
Remember ye not the
former things,
neither consider
the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing;
now it shall spring forth;
shall ye not know it?
I will even make a way
in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.

Storms Are Not Meant ~
Storms are not meant,
to blow us over . . .
they come so we may
run to God for cover.
They are not meant,
to take us down . . .
they arise so we may
turn our lives around.
Storms are not meant,
to make us weak . . .
they arrive so we may
learn to God first seek.
They are not meant,
to make us shake . . .
they descend so we can
from apathy awake.
Storms are not meant,
to blow through us . . .
they come so we may
put in God our trust!

The name of the Lord
is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth
into it, and is safe.
“As the whirlwind passeth,
so is the wicked no more:
but the righteous is an
everlasting foundation.”

Gems of Truth ~
The Bible is packed,
with truth filled gems
seen through the eyes
of a righteous lens.
For as we look closely,
to the nuggets of grace
the ways of the world
we’ll no longer embrace.
We will live a life,
to God that is pleasing
godly and holy
as grace keeps increasing.
To these gems of truth,
we’ll not wander away
nor follow the path
leading others astray.
The Bible is full,
of hope filled jewels
leading to salvation . . .
if we follow the rules!
~~~~~~~~
For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;

With God You Can Do It ~
When you feel like,
you’re not enough
and the road ahead
seems way to tough.
Turn straight to God,
He’ll give you strength
to go the distance
no matter the length.
When at first you think,
you just can’t do it
and before you start
you just want to quit.
Know that God,
is right there with you
and with His guidance
you’ll know what to do.
When you start to think,
the climb you can’t make
ask God for the power
to do what it takes!

And Moses said unto God,
Who am I, that I should go
unto Pharaoh, and that I
should bring forth the
children of Israel out of Egypt?
