We All Need A Friend ~

We all need a friend,
to encourage us
we all need someone
who in God truly trusts.

We all need a partner,
with whom we can pray
someone who will help us
stay on the narrow way.

We all need a mentor,
in whom we can share
someone who understands
the weight of our care.

We all need a confidant,
to help our faith grow
someone who believes
God’s will we can know.

We all need a friend,
a faithful supporter
we all need God’s Spirit
to be our shock absorber!

Sticky Note to God 11.12.15

The Comforter of My Soul ~

The Comforter of my soul,
never gets tired of my cares
He never gets fatigued by
my burdens that He bears.

He never turns me away,
when I go to Him for relief
the Comforter of my soul
understands all my grief.

The Comforter of my soul,
always makes things better
taking on my heavy load
gives His heart pleasure.

He makes things easier,
when all else is difficult
the Comforter of my soul
is always there to consult.

The Comforter of my soul,
takes on my every care
tis why I give to Him . . .
my every need to bear!

My Prayer for You ~

I pray the Lord will be with you,
while this, you are going through
I pray you will not leave His side
so in Him, you can restfully abide.

I pray the Lord will stand with you,
give you wisdom, in what to do
I pray He’ll help to keep you still
as you seek out, His perfect will.

I pray the Lord will be your helper,
In Him, you’ll find your comforter
I pray He will show you His plans
as you dwell in His mighty hands.

I pray the Lord will be your light,
calm your fears throughout the night
I pray His Word will bring you peace
and your anxiety will come to cease.

I pray today the Lord is with you,
and tomorrow all will be anew
I pray the Lord will meet your need
from this burden, you’ll soon be freed!

Holy Spirit Come Comfort Me ~

Holy Spirit,
come comfort me
give me faith
in what I can’t see.

Be my truth,
I need Your sight
Holy Spirit
be my guiding light.

Holy Spirit,
control my mind
direct me to where
Your peace I’ll find.

Be my shield,
show me the way
Holy Spirit
lead me how to pray.

Holy Spirit,
teach me to trust
help me to see
You’re always just.

Reveal to me,
what is Your plan
govern me with
Your mighty hand.

Holy Spirit,
come comfort me
let me forever . . .
abide with Thee!

Unleashing God’s Power ~

When worry starts to flood,
like a windblown heavy rain
when you’re dispirited
by anxieties constant strain.

Turn to the Good News,
and as you begin to pray . . .
You will feel God releasing
His peace straight away.

When trouble begins to blow,
like a howling nor’easter
when you’re feeling downcast
in need of a warm comforter.

Turn at once to the Lord,
rush into His loving arms
knowing they’ll protect you
from everything that harms.

When grief overcomes,
like a crashing tidal wave
when you’re disheartened
drowning in a teary grave.

Turn to the Scriptures,
no matter what the hour
and with each tearful drop
let God, unleash His power!

The Path of Grief Unknown ~

I walk the path of grief,
in the valley of pain unknown
but Jesus is here with me . . .
so I don’t have to walk it alone.

The path has its ups and down,
the valley, its highs and lows
but Jesus is here with me . . .
in the midst of my sorrows.

The pathway of heartache,
is paved with dread and fear
but Jesus is here with me . . .
His grace is always near.

The days seem to creep along,
the nights are without end
but Jesus is here with me . . .
my Comforter, my Friend.

I walk the pathway of pain,
but I’m not walking it alone
for Jesus is here with me . . .
on the path, of grief unknown.

” Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

It’s All About Jesus ~

It’s not about the disease,
or the sickness in your soul
it’s about the Healer . . .
making your heart whole.

It’s not about the problem,
or the crisis you are in
it’s about the Deliverer . . .
forgivingyour every sin.

It’s not about the burden,
or the weight of the load
it’s about the Comforter . . .
helping you down the road.

It not about the worries,
or the fears in your head
it’s about the Lord . . .
and being Holy Spirit led.

It’s not about the troubles,
or the difficulties that impede
it’s about the Savior . . .
knowing your every need.

It’s not about the storm,
or the seas that are raging
it’s about the Christ . . .
who knows you need saving.

It’s not about the trials,
or the struggles in this life
it’s all about Jesus . . .
who came to bear your strife!
