Sticky Note From God ~08.28.20~

Isaiah 41:10

 

Faint Not ~

Faint not,
do not tire
don’t forget
satan’s a liar.

Keep on,
keeping on
for your Father
and His Son.

Faint not,
do not pass out
don’t let satan
cause any doubt.

Press on,
pressing on
soon the harvest
will be drawn.

Faint not,
do not surrender
keep on pressing on . . .
into heaven’s splendor!

Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary
in well doing: for in
due season we shall reap,
if we faint not.

Good Morning Quote ~08.28.20~

 

 

It’s No Snap ~

It isn’t easy,
this being strong
it’s really hard
when all’s going wrong.

It isn’t a snap,
this having courage
it’s difficult
not getting discouraged.

It isn’t comfortable,
this waiting and waiting
it’s laborious
keeping from fainting.

It isn’t painless,
this being perfectly still
it’s grueling
finding out God’s will.

But those who take heart,
in God’s timing . . .
on eagle’s wings
you’ll find soaring!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 27:14

“Wait on the Lord:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait,
I say, on the Lord.”

Sticky Note From God ~02.16.18~

Holding Fast ~

Lord, help me to hold fast,
give me the stability
to grasp onto my faith
with grace and humility.

Help me to be steadfast,
give me quiet persistence
let me not grow weary
when I meet resistance.

Lord, help me to be firm.
so that I will not waiver
let me cling to the hope
You are my found Savior.

Help me to be secure,
keep me peacefully steady
with encouraging words
let me always be ready.

Lord, help me to hold fast,
to the trust in You I’ve found
keep me calmly resilient . . .
in spreading my faith around!

Waiting ~

Lord, You have given me,
these mighty eagles wings
said they’d give me strength
in the problems life brings.

You said for me to wait,
for Your Son to return
until such time to give
You all of my concern.

You said there would be,
no weariness or fatigue
to wait until the day
the crown of life I’ll receive.

You said I would walk,
without ever fainting
to focus on the future hope
You have for me awaiting.

Lord, You have given me,
these powerful eagle wings
and so I patiently wait . . .
for the newness of all things!

~~~~~~~

Isaiah 40.31

“But they that wait
upon the Lord shall
renew their strength;
they shall mount up
with wings as eagles;
they shall run,
and not be weary;
and they shall walk,
and not faint.”

Fear Naught ~

Throughout the Bible,
we’re told not to fear
nor to be dismayed
for God is always near.

We’re told not to be,
fearful or discouraged
that in the Lord Himself
to always be encouraged.

We’re told not to worry,
God will not fail us
no matter what man does
in Him to always trust.

We’re told not to tremble,
nor to be faint-hearted
we’re told He will finish
whatever He has started

We’re told to our prayers,
God will bend His ear
that we needn’t doubt
our pleas He won’t hear.

We’re told perfect love,
casts out every fear . . .
that God will not forsake
but to Him, keep us near!

~~~~~~~~~

Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and of a good courage,
fear not, nor be afraid of them:
for the Lord thy God, he it is
that doth go with thee; he will
not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

Prayer Make’s a Difference ~

When our prayers,
get no response . . .
in prayer we need
to remain ensconced.

We mustn’t ever give up,
or from prayers bail out
they’ll make a difference
if we have no doubt.

We cannot lose heart,
in prayer we must persist
then fear and worry
we’ll be able to resist.

We mustn’t be weary,
or faint in our prayers
we need to remember
Jesus wants our cares.

When with our prayers,
God is slow to respond
expect an answer . . .
though it be prolonged!

~~~~~~~~

Luke 18:1

“And he spake a parable
unto them to this end,
that men ought always
to pray, and not to faint;”

If We’re Not To Faint ~

If we’re not to faint,
if we’re not to be weak
then God’s face . . .
we must earnestly seek.

If we’re to keep walking,
if we’re not to ever quit
then to God’s will . . .
we must earnestly submit.

If we’re not to be weary,
if we’re not to ever tire
then to God’s plans . . .
we must earnestly desire.

If we’re to keep running,
if we’re not to forsake
then to God’s Word . . .
we must earnestly intake.

If we’re to mount up,
if we’re not to comedown
then to God’s ways . . .
we must earnestly crackdown.

If we’re to have strength,
if we’re not to be overpowered
then on God we have to wait . . .
so we can be empowered!

Isaiah 40:31

“But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings
as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.”

Do Not Lose Heart ~

Do not lose heart,
do not give up today
ask God to bring renewal
into your life, straight away.

Do not lose focus,
keep Jesus in your sight
do not pull yourself from
the truth found in His light.

Do not lose trust,
do not stop believing
soon answered prayers . . .
you will start receiving.

Do not lose hope,
keep your mind centered
on the grace Jesus brought
when in your life, He entered.

Do not  lose heart,
do not faint away . . .
ask God to be renewed
right here, right now, today!

but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”

In Quiet Hope ~

My soul waits for the Lord,
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
for, what else can I do
so for Him, I will wait.

No need to get restless,
caught up in my fears
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
until my Jesus appears.

As problems pile up,
adding to my care
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
as I go to Him in prayer.

At this very moment,
in my soul’s hungry need
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
to His will, I shall heed.

My soul waits for the Lord,
in quiet hope, I wait . . .
I know He’ll come again
so til then, I’ll not faint!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 27:13-14

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see
the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”
