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 ~01.11.20~

This Too Shall End ~

This too I know,
will soon be gone
so to my faith
I will hold on.

I will stay strong,
I won’t be weak
for God’s grace
I’ll hourly seek.

His grace helps me,
to stick things out
for it calms my fears
dispels my doubt.

It buoys my trust,
dispels my nerves
it shows me worrying
does not, Him serve.

This too I know,
shall soon end and pass
until it does  . . .
I’ll not let fear trespass!

~~~~~~~~

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.”

Be Not Dismayed ~

Wherever you go,
God is with you
whatever you do
He is there too.

You can’t see Him,
but He sees you
He knows the way
for you to pursue.

Whatever you fear,
God will ease it
whatever you dread
God will conquer it.

He’ll impart strength,
when you are weak
He’ll pass on courage
when you are meek.

So, be not fearful,
neither be afraid
with God we need not . . .
ever be dismayed!

“Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid,

Be Not Afraid ~

When in the wilderness,
be brave and be daring
no matter the burden
or load you’re carrying.

For, God is with you,
wherever you go
He promises always
the right way to show.

He will be the cloud,
to follow in the day
His very presence
will lead you the way.

He will be your pillar,
in the dead of night
He will shine on you
His true guiding light.

When in the wilderness,
don’t you be dismayed . . .
God is always with you
so be not, ever afraid!

be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:

whithersoever thou goest.”

My Resolution Solution ~

Lord, I’m going to navigate,
through another year
and I am going to need You . . .
to stay close and near.

I am going to chart,
a new course for every day
and I am going to need You . . .
to shed light on my way.

I am going to steer,
the obstacles that I am able
and I am going to need You . . .
to keep my faith stable.

I am going to weather,
all the storms out at sea
and I am going to need You . . .
to keep Your eyes on me.

Lord, I am going to make,
a new resolution for the year
and I’m counting on You  . . .
to give me faith over fear!
