The Peace Of God Transcends ~
The peace of God transcends,
anything we can perceive
and so sometimes . . .
it’s hard for us to receive.
But, if we were to let,
our hearts become still
and focus in on Jesus
our minds peace would fill.
The peace Jesus left us,
in this world can’t be found
no matter where you look
you won’t find it around.
But, if we keep our hearts,
troubled and worry free
what keeps us from His peace
would from our minds flee.
The peace of God exceeds,
what we will ever know . . .
unless in prayer to Jesus
we every day will go!
~~~~~~~~
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

Water’s Troubling ~
I’ve been through water’s troubling,
in the turbulence of my mind
I’ve been tossed and shaken
by thoughts of every kind.
I’ve been blown all around,
in this whirlwind called life . . .
I’ve been in many storms
leaving me full of strife.
I’ve been through tumultuous times,
that were lengthy and prolonged
I’ve been through mind twisters
where anxious thoughts spawned.
I’ve been in deep dark waters,
with no sure way to get out
I’ve been in Satan’s cesspool
filled with dread, fear and doubt.
I’ve been through water’s troubling,
of every type and every kind . . .
but, Jesus has been the bridge
guarding my heart and mind!

A Feeling Of Calmness ~
There is nothing quite like,
having a feeling of calmness
to be at peace with God
and to bask in His kindness.
It helps you to remain,
tranquil throughout the day
no matter what situation
may come about your way.
There is nothing better,
than an air of peacefulness
to delight oneself with . . .
thoughts of eternal happiness.
It helps you to continue,
to stay to God near
as you make your journey
while living down here.
There is nothing that beats,
having a heart and mind
soaking up all the peace
only in Jesus one can find!
~~~~~~~~
And the peace of God,
which passeth
all understanding,
shall keep your hearts
and minds through
Christ Jesus.

The Missing Piece ~
He repairs hearts,
fills in the holes
heals the spirit
restores the soul.
His love reaches,
the deep recesses
where pain hides
and sin depresses.
He gives wholeness,
to the fraught mind
surpassing anything
we could ever find.
To those in need,
grace He freely gives
for only He knows . . .
how to truly forgive.
He fills in the hole,
He’s the missing piece
only Jesus can bring
true rest and peace!
~~~~~~
He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds.

which passeth all understanding,

Treasures In Heaven ~
Treasures in heaven,
I have been storing
for it is where my heart
has long been mooring.
For worldly treasures,
will only tarnish and rust
but the ones in heaven
on them I can trust.
Treasures in heaven,
I have been keeping
ever since God ~ first
I started seeking.
For they’re incorruptible,
pure and holy
once I gave Jesus
my heart wholly.
Treasures in heaven,
are worth my amassing
for they hold for me peace
that is truly surpassing!
~~~~~~~~
Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break
through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven,
where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves
do not break through
nor steal:
For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.

Waters Healing~
In the depth of despair,
there is a gulf of grief . . .
where the sorrows of life
makes us beg for relief.
The hurting soul can’t calm,
or remove its own heartbreak
it needs the healing touch
of the One who won’t forsake.
We thirst for waters healing,
a peaceful resting place
where we can forget the pain
that’s so unbearable to face.
The grieving soul can’t let go,
nor cause the ache to part
only God can relieve . . .
the throbbing in its heart.
In the depth of despair,
there is a gulf of grief . . .
and only Jesus can bring
the anguished soul true relief!

This Peace ~
I never knew this peace,
that God has imparted
I never knew this calm
keeping my heart guarded.
I truly don’t understand,
or know how to explain
why I don’t feel wracked
by this unbearable pain.
I could never imagine,
a mind not over fraught
or how joy can capture
each and every thought.
It’s past comprehension,
way beyond my grasp . . .
how tightly God can keep
one’s heart within His clasp.
But, I know this one thing,
no where else could I find
for, the peace Jesus brings . . .
isn’t like any other kind!

And the peace of God,
which passeth

Lord, help me to find,
peace for my mind . . .

at rest in Thee.
Slow my heart beat,
as this new day I greet
oh, Lord hear my prayer
as my burdens I bare.
Lord, help me to know,
how your peace can flow
help me to see
Your calm inside me.
Make my thoughts clear,
remove all the fear
Oh, Lord hear my plea
as I give them to Thee.
Lord, help me to find,
peace for heart and mind
the kind that exceeds
the worry that impedes!

Focus On Jesus ~
Some days good thoughts,
are hard to keep
sometimes it’s not easy
not to let the bad ones creep.
But, those who stay,
focused on the Lord
peace in their minds
will become shored.
Some days just crush,
our spirit’s into shards
sometimes it’s impossible
our hearts to guard.
But those who remain,
on the Lord centered
peace in their souls
will keep them sheltered.
Some days tranquility,
seems unobtainable . . .
but, those who focus on Jesus
will have peace unexplainable!

We All Need A Break ~
We all need a break,
from the rut of daily life
we all need God . . .
to ease our daily strife.
We all need rest,
quite, peaceful tranquility
we all need God . . .
to restore our vitality.
We all need a break,
from the daily rush
we all need God . . .
our hearts to hush.
We all need peace,
calming, silent quietness
we all need God . . .
to shush us with stillness.
We all need a break,
from the daily grind
we all need God . . .
to give us peace of mind!

Give God Your Worries ~
Some people worry,
about anything
some get anxious
over everything.
Some wrestle daily,
with their troubles
some nightly fight
with their struggles.
But, those who wait,
on the Lord are still
the worries they have
their peace cannot steal.
They cast their anxiety,
onto Jesus each day
they don’t fret about
things coming their way.
Some people worry,
about anything
but, those who trust God
give Him their everything!

I’ve Got This Peace ~
I’ve got this peace,
that I just don’t get
but, it is becoming
for me a new mind-set.
There’s a calmness,
it seems so surreal
there’s a tranquility
that feels so unreal.
There’s a quietness,
filling up my heart
there’s a gentle hush
in the fearful part.
There’s a stillness,
now inside of me
there’s a restfulness
and it’s anxiety free.
I just don’t get . . .
this calm and peace
but, I know with Jesus
it will never cease!

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 . . .

in His perfect love.

but, I know its flowing
from the Holy Spirit!

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!~~~~~~~~~~~~
