Calamities come to us,
in many shapes and forms
some trickle down like the rain
others bolt like thunderstorms
But, no matter how they come,
it’s what we do with them
for Jesus our misfortunes . . .
wants us to turn them over to Him.
Tragedies come to us,
by many ways and means
some will dash our hopes
others will smash our dreams.
But, no matter how they come,
it’s how we choose to react
for Jesus our catastrophes . . . .
wants us to give Him their impact.
Calamities and tragedies,
we all at times must face
but, Jesus will give us strength
through His sufficient grace!
~~~~~~~~
Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you.
And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient
for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.

Disappointments come,
into every one’s life . . .
some we can push aside
others cause inside strife.
They have many shapes,
but, with the same face
for, hopelessness knows
it’s all about the chase.
They can poke around,
or hit straight in the gut
for, depression only wants
you wallowing in its rut.
They come in many forms,
but, with the same attitude
making singing the blues
almost impossible to elude.
Into every one’s life,
comes disappointment . . .
but, I have found God’s Word
to be failure’s curing ointment!
~~~~~~~~~
O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted
within me?
hope in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.”

We all have our giants,
that we must defeat . . .
some of them seem small
some appear at least ten feet.
Some come in the forms,
of bills and unemployment
others approach us with
doubt and discouragement.
Some attack us with panic,
despair and depression
others advance on us
with fear and repression.
Some scream at us,
we are good for nothing
some shout in God
we aren’t very trusting.
We all have our giants,
that we need to overcome
but with God’s power . . .
to them we needn’t succumb!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might
he increaseth strength.”

When discouragement comes,
knocking on your door
you can be sure of this . . .
it’ll knock you to the floor.
It wants to pull the rug,
out from what you believe
discouragement knows . . .
it brings spiritual fatigue.
Discouragement is aware,
of each move you make
it wants to stop the steps
of faith that you take.
It wants to rob the hope,
that lives inside of you
discouragement will distort
what you know to be true.
Discouragement will cause,
spiritual wear and tear . . .
so when it comes knocking
give Jesus, its burden to bear!

for he careth for you.”
