Heavenly Guidance ~
Heavenly guidance,
we all need to seek
for it will give strength
whenever we’re weak.
But it will take us,
some doing on our part
to hear the Holy Spirit
speaking to our heart.
Heavenly counseling,
we all need to pray for
for it will lead us
straight to heaven’s door.
But we need to learn,
to wait and be still
and not budge an inch
until we know God’s will.
Heavenly guidance,
we all need to find
for it brings peace
to both heart and mind!
~~~~~~~~
I will instruct thee
and teach thee
in the way which
thou shalt go:
I will guide thee
with mine eye.

Peace Surpassing ~
May you have the peace,
surpassing understanding
may you be at perfect rest
worries notwithstanding.
May you feel the blush,
of God’s soothing calm
may your soul soak it in
like the healing of a balm.
May you retain the peace,
guarding your heart and mind
may you through Jesus
the bliss of tranquility find.
May you sense the purge,
of all things troubling
may you feel the vibrant rush
of hope inside bubbling.
May you have the peace,
comprehension surpassing . . .
may for everything you pray
with pleas of thanksgiving!
~~~~~~~~
Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God.
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.

Here I AM ~
Here I AM,
looking out for you
counting your every step
guiding you all the way
each and every day.
Here I AM,
feeling all your hurt
healing all your pain
taking away the sting
shielding you with My wing.
Here I AM,
always besides you
never leaving, never parting
for I AM always here
I AM forever near.
Here I AM,
seeing you worry
giving you My peace
watching your concern
bringing you new hope
helping you to cope.
So, if you ever wonder,
where I can be found
all you have to do
is take a look around . . .
For I AM here!

The Meaning To Life ~
Life has more meaning,
when in God you believe
it is more enjoyable . . .
when Jesus you receive.
It is more peaceful,
when others you forgive
it is more compatible
when love is what you give.
Life has more to offer,
when God you daily seek
it is more agreeable
when humble and meek.
It is more pleasant,
when you’re being kind
it is more courteous
when peace fills your mind.
Life is just plain better,
when in God you trust
it is just simply easier . . .
when Jesus lives in us!
~~~~~~
Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things
are passed away; behold,
all things are become new.

May the Lord bless you,

may He keep you secure
under His wing’s notch.
May His face shine down,
with rays of hope on you
may His gracious mercy
your heart and mind renew.
May the Lord bless you,
bring to you His peace
as all your cares . . .
onto Him you release!

The Lord make his face
shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift up
his countenance upon thee,
and give thee peace.

2021 A Year of Contentment ~
This year I’m going to be,
peacefully content . . .
no matter what happens
I’m not going to lament.
Instead I will be,
hopefully satisfied
so my faith in Jesus
can be magnified.
This year I’m going to be,
faithfully trusting . . .
for nothing on this earth
leaves me wanting.
Rather I will be,
firmly unwavering
as the world around me
continues unraveling.
This year I am going to br,
joyfully content . . .
regardless of the turmoil
or to what its extent!
~~~~~~~~
Love not the world,
neither the things
that are in the world.
If any man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come, even now are there many
antichrists; whereby we know that
it is the last time.

Word Garden ~
There is a place of calm,
for all of us to find . . .
a place to just let go
and find peace of mind.
Mine is in God’s garden,
amongst His Word I do reap
promises of green pastures
the gathering of His sheep.
Strolling along the path,
I bow down to smell a rose
the scent of His undying love
in my heart forever grows.
As I walk the narrow way,
I stop to pick a verse . . .
I’m in awe by His goodness
in His grace I’m immersed.
I stop and sit upon the bench,
under the arbor of my soul
I rest in the knowledge . . .
God is always in control!

Fraught With Worry ~
Often we find our hearts,
are fraught with worry
our thoughts turn into . . .
a nervous, swirling flurry.
We fret and we fuss,
over what we can’t control
until fear becomes . . .
embedded into our soul.
Often we find our minds,
are overwhelmed by dread
our thinking gets clouded . . .
by the anxiety in our head.
We get so caught up in,
our fearful trepidation
until fear’s spiny fingers . . .
takes over our circulation.
Often we find our hearts,
letting worry into our mind
keeping us from God’s peace
to discover or to find!
~~~~~~~~~~
Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests be made
known unto God.
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.

In The Midst Of A Storm ~
In the midst of a storm,
Jesus is there . . .
He is ready to take
our fear, our care.
He hears our cries,
for His aid and relief
His ready to help us with
our lingering disbelief.
In the middle of the turmoil,
Jesus is waiting . . .
He is able to ease
our apprehensions grating.
He hears our lamenting,
our weeping and wailings
for He understands . . .
our weaknesses and failings.
In the midst of a storm,
Jesus is right there . . .
in the center of its eye
He hears our every prayer!
~~~~~~~~
And he saith unto them,
Why are ye fearful,
O ye of little faith? Then he arose,
and rebuked the winds and the sea;
and there was a great calm.
But the men marvelled, saying,
What manner of man is this,
that even the winds and
the sea obey him!

Oh, If I Could Fly Away ~
Oh, if I could fly away,
I’d soar into my Savior’s arms
there I would find my quiet rest
and be safe from all that harms.
I would take off and reside,
under the shadow of His wings
I’d be free from all the strife
living in this world often brings.
Oh, if I could fly away,
like an eagle I’d mount and rise
and climb to where His peace
would calm my fearful cries.
I would go right up to Him,
lay my burdens at His feet
and with Jesus I would find
my everlasting retreat.
Oh, if I could fly away,
if I had wings like a dove
I’d soar right up to heaven
and rest in His eternal love.
I would climb so ever high,
till I found His stillness
I would dive into His calm
and sop up His quietness.
Oh, if I could fly away,
I’d take you along with me . . .
and together we’d find rest
throughout all of eternity!

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15

will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
