Draw To God Near ~

When my heart pounds,
with anxiety and fear
it only calms down . .
as I draw to God near.
For the closer I get,
to where He is . . .
I am reminded
my dread is all His.
When my nerves jitter,
with doubt and worry
they only ease up . . .
when with God I tarry.
For the more time,
with Him I spend
I can see His light
just around the bend.
When my I am feeling,
shaky and dismayed
to God I close in . . .
so not to be afraid!
~~~~~~~~
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea,
I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand
of my righteousness.

It’s One Of Those Days~

It’s one of those days Lord,
You know what I mean
it’s a time when on You
all I can do is lean.
It’s a day like no other,
where I feel so helpless
it’s a time where without You
I’d be totally hopeless.
It’s one of those days Lord,
where I need You to uphold me
it’s a time when I need faith
for that which I can’t see.
It’s a day of uncertainty,
where I’m feeling distraught
it’s a time when I need You
to capture my every thought.
It’s one of those days Lord,
I know You understand . . .
It’s a time where I need
the strength of Your right hand!
~~~~~~~~
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with
the right hand of my righteousness.

God Is Still Able ~
When life gets hard,
and the road gets rough
when all that lies ahead
seems difficult and tough.
Remember God is still able,
to turn things around . . .
so keep on trusting Him
to avoid a breakdown.
When all that you see,
is hardship and adversity
when all that you feel
is the fear of uncertainty.
Remember with God,
nothing is too troubling
just keep on believing Him
so to keep from unraveling.
When life gets tough,
when the road seems long
remember God will give you . . .
the faith to make you strong!
~~~~~~~~~~
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea,
I will help thee; yea,
I will uphold thee with
the right hand of my righteousness.

The Righteous Hands Of God ~
God hands are righteous,
mighty and powerful
they’re loving and kind
and oh, so merciful.
His hands laid out,
the earth’s foundation
preparing the way
for eternal salvation.
His hands upholds,
those who are afraid
so they needn’t be
fearful or dismayed.
His hands are strong,
they provide protection
to those who seek
wisdom and direction.
His hands are etched,
with the names of those
who through grace by faith
redemption in Jesus choose.
Out of God’s hands,
no one can be snatched
for onto our souls . . .
His fingers are latched!
~~~~~~
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the
right hand of my righteousness.
Behold, I have graven thee
upon the palms of my hands; t
hy walls are continually before me.
And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.

I Will Strengthen You ~
I will strengthen thee,
how simple this sounds
but, it can be so hard
when our troubles abound.
For, often we fail to take,
a hold on God’s promise
perhaps because in us . . .
there’s a little doubting Thomas.
I will strengthen you,
how easy this would be
if our pride we’d let go
His strength we could see.
But, we are too busy,
keeping our ego’s inflated
that God’s strength and power
often becomes deflated.
I will strengthen thee,
is God’s promise to us
if only we would . . .
in Him place our trust!
~~~~~~~
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed;
for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand
of my righteousness.”

Grief Is Like an Ocean ~
Grief is like an ocean,
it ebbs in and out
some days are calm
others are a wipeout.
Grief is like a stream,
that keeps on flowing
some days it slows down
others it comes rushing.
Grief is like the wind,
that seems not to ease
some days get gusty
others are but a breeze.
Grief is like a storm,
that can be unyielding
some days are tranquil
others are unrelenting.
Grief is a process,
that defies the span of time
for the loss of a love one . . .
lasts a whole lifetime!
~~~~~~~~~~
My Grief Comfort Verses
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer; my God, my strength,
in whom I will trust; my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
” Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.”
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea,
I will help thee; yea, I will
uphold thee with the right hand
of my righteousness.”
“And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.”
“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”
“And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain: for the former things
are passed away.”
and so many more . . .

Victory Over Fear ~
If we’re not to be fearful,
if we’re not to be afraid
then why do we sometimes . . .
feel overwhelmingly dismayed?
If we’re not to despair,
if we’re not to be weak
then why do we sometimes . . .
feel so hopelessly bleak?
If we’re not to be concerned,
if we’re not to worry about today
then why do we sometimes . .
feel so helpless anyway?
If we’re not to be frightened,
if we’re not to have a single care
then why do we sometimes . . .
feel so emotionally threadbare?
If we’re not to be fearful,
if we’re not to be dismayed
then why are we not trembling . . .
with joy, instead of being afraid?

Power From the Throne ~
Our might comes from God,
it is not of our own . . .
it comes from the power
of the One, on the throne.
He is the only source,
on which we can extract
the power that we need
when Satan’s on the attack.
We do not need to fear,
when on His hand we rely
for His power and strength
He has promised to supply.
God said He’d equip us,
with the strength we need
to plow through all things
when to His will, we heed.
We need not be dismayed,
when trouble comes our way
for God will give us power
to muscle through the day.
Our might comes from God,
our own will only fail us
but oh, what strength we’ll have
when on His ~ we trust!
~~~~~~~~

Do Not Worry ~
Do not worry,
it’s easy for us to say
but for the most part . . .
it’s not the chosen way.
For, we worry over things,
we cannot control
over the ones we can . . .
worry, still takes its toll.
Do not worry,
if we do, we don’t trust
that God is truly able . . .
to take care of us.
For, when we worry,
it only makes us doubt
the things impossible . . .
God can even work out.
Do not worry,
do not be dismayed
give God your weakness . . .
for His strength today!

The Valley of Sorrow ~
Through the valley of sorrow,
God is taking me . . .
I know not the purpose
but, the future He sees.
Through the valley of heartache,
with grief as my load . . .
I know not the whys
but, God knows the road.
Through the valley of suffering,
I am being lead . . .
I know not the outcome
but, God knows what’s ahead.
Through the valley of pain,
with only tears in my sight
I know not the reason
but, God knows the fight.
Through the valley of sorrow,
God, I will follow Thee . . .
I care not the duration
for I know, You are with me!
