To Busy To Be Still ~

Often we find ourselves,
too busy to stay still
that we become careless
searching for God’s will.

Our lives are so chaotic,
obsessively constricted
that our time alone with God
is neglectfully restricted.

Often we find ourselves,
on God not at all waiting
and our lives become
discouragingly frustrating.

Our days run together,
weeks become but a blur
that we cannot even sense
when the Holy Spirit stirs.

Often we find ourselves,
in a headlong, frantic rush
when God would rather instill . . .
His stillness into us!

Be still,
and know
that I am God:

Waiting and Biding ~

Waiting,
is just plain no fun
biding . . .
isn’t easily done.

But, God tells us,
to be still and quiet
to make daily prayer
a part of our diet.

Waiting . . .
can take so long
patience . . .
takes being strong.

But, when we follow,
Jesus’ teachings . . .
God will answer
all of our pleadings.

Waiting . . . .
is a faith trusting thing
bidding . . .
is to on Jesus cling!

Lamentations 3:25

The Lord is good unto them
that wait for him, to the
soul that seeketh him.

John 15:7

“If ye abide in me,
and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.

When Torn ~

When torn between,
which road to take
pray before any . . .
conclusion you make.

Don’t be in a hurry,
to make your decision
wait until God gives
a crystal clear vision.

When at a crossroad,
before you move on
pray and ask God
to be Spirit drawn.

Don’t rush ahead,
until He gives the go
for, if you’re patient
the way He will show.

When torn between,
which road to take . . .
always choose the highway
if on God you can’t wait!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 16:11

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures
for evermore.”

Proverbs 16:17

“The highway of the upright
is to depart from evil:
he that keepeth his way
preserveth his soul.”

Wait-Training ~

Wait-training,
we all need to go through
it’s something . . .
we must to learn to do.

For, God wants to teach us,
how on Him to rely
and to trust Him when
He’s got us on standby.

It will take patience,
and a lot of practice
for wait-training requires
us to be proactive.

For, God wants to show us,
His timing is the best
through He’s got us waiting
we can still be at rest.

Wait-training,
takes a lot of fortitude
for it takes strength to have
a surrendered attitude!

Psalms 27:14

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

Be Still and Know ~

Be still and know,
I am the One
who will finish
what He begun.

Be still and know,
I have a plan
so just rest here
in My hand.

Be still and know,
I know the way
I always do
what I say.

Be still and know,
I will not leave
believe My peace
you will receive.

Be still and know,
I am with you
together in this
we’ll get through!

Sometimes We Soar ~

Sometimes we soar like eagles,
sometimes we flutter about
sometimes our faith is strong
sometimes we are full of doubt.

Sometimes we reach the mountain,
sometimes in the valley we stay
sometimes to the truth we cling
sometimes to the way we stray.

Sometimes we have victory,
sometimes into sin we fall
sometimes we weather the storm
sometimes we sink in the squall.

Sometimes we stay the course,
sometimes we get off track
sometimes we win the battle
sometimes we fall to the attack.

Sometimes we have strength,
sometimes we feel weak and faint
sometimes we sit and wait
sometimes we have no restraint.

Sometimes we walk by faith,
sometimes we lose our direction
sometimes we try to be faultless
but only Jesus brings perfection!

~~~~~~~~~~~

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.”

Sticky Note From God 4.18.15

When God Shuts a Door ~

When God shuts a door,
He’ll open another one
and you can rest assured
He has for you, the right one.

For God won’t let you enter,
if it isn’t, His desire for you
though you may of thought
it was what, you should do.

When God shuts a door,
make a mental memo
to pray about the reasons
you’re  in a state of limbo.

For God wants you to learn,
to wait on Him and be still
so you can find what is
His good and perfect will.

When God shuts a door,
He’ll open one to go through
and you can rest assured
Jesus will be waiting for you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Acts 16:7-9

“After they were come to Mysia,
they assayed to go into Bithynia:
but the Spirit suffered them not.

And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night;
There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him,
saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.”

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.”

I Will Wait ~

I will wait on You Lord,
I will wait and be still . . .
I will wait for Your voice
to guide and to lead
I will wait for Your Spirit
before I proceed.

I will wait on You Lord,
I will wait and be still  . . .
I will wait on Your word
to give me the power
I will wait on Your timing
no matter the hour.

I will wait on You Lord,
I will wait and be still . . .
I will wait for Your peace
to put the calm in my soul
I will wait on Your grace
to stay in control.

I will wait on You Lord,
I will wait and be still . . .
I will wait for Your blessings
before I get up and go
I will patiently wait
until You let me know.

I will wait on You Lord,
I will wait and be still . . .
I promise I can
I promise I will
but I need Your strength
to wait and be still!

Until He Will . . . Be Still ~

When waiting on the Lord,
to answer your prayer
don’t become discouraged
instead, rest in His care.

When seeking His response,
for your wants and needs
don’t become depressed
be at peace until He leads.

When God is quiet,
but you heart isn’t so
don’t become worried
instead, let His mercy flow.

When looking for a word,
to help show the way
don’t become disheartened
but, let joy fill your day.

When waiting on the Lord,
needing to know His will
don’t become anxious
instead, trust and be still!
