Lord, Give My Faith A Backbone ~

Lord, give my faith a backbone,
robust, sturdy and strong
give my spirit the braveness
to last my whole life long.

Lord, help me not to be,
cowardly and spineless
so for You I can be . . .
courageous and fearless.

Lord, give my trust a framework,
rugged, durable and resilient
give my spirit the boldness
to go for You the distant.

Lord, help me not to be,
fainthearted and gutless
so for You I can be . . .
a light for Your justness.

Lord, give me a backbone,
make my faith seamless
so that my trust in You
can remain effortless!

~~~~~~~~~~

Joshua 1:9

“Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed:
for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.

Sticky Note From God ~05.19.18~

He Calms the Storms ~

He calms the storms,
the waves He can hush
so those in distress
into His arms will rush.

He redirects the wind,
tells it where to go
so those fearful
His peace may know.

He stops the roar,
of an angry sea
so those hopeless
His power can see.

He silences the clap,
in the thunder
so those frightened
can see His wonder.

He answers the cries,
of those afraid . . .
so they’ll learn in Him
not to be dismayed!

~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 107:29

“He maketh the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still.”

1 Chronicles 22:13

“be strong,
and of good courage;
dread not,
nor be dismayed.”

Stand Fast, Be Strong ~

Stand fast,
don’t budge
from the truth
don’t nudge.

Stand tall,
lofty, mighty high
lest to the world
you may comply.

Stand solid,
on your Rock
watch carefully
the way you walk.

Stand firm,
do not deviate
lest you miss
the narrow gate.

Stand up,
to your enemy
into God’s Word
turn readily.

Stand fast,
be on the alert
stay strong . . .
from all evil divert!

~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 16:13
King James Version

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like men, be strong.
