Prayer Make’s a Difference ~

When our prayers,
get no response . . .
in prayer we need
to remain ensconced.

We mustn’t ever give up,
or from prayers bail out
they’ll make a difference
if we have no doubt.

We cannot lose heart,
in prayer we must persist
then fear and worry
we’ll be able to resist.

We mustn’t be weary,
or faint in our prayers
we need to remember
Jesus wants our cares.

When with our prayers,
God is slow to respond
expect an answer . . .
though it be prolonged!

Luke 18:1

“And he spake a parable
unto them to this end,
that men ought always
to pray, and not to faint;”

Clinging to My Victories ~

I’m clinging to my victories,
no matter what happens to me
I may suffer for today
but, tomorrow . . .
Jesus will set me free.

I’m clinging to my victories,
even when going through the fire
I may be downtrodden today
but, tomorrow . . .
Jesus will lift me higher.

I’m clinging to my victories,
although now my heart is fearful
I may be anxious today
but, tomorrow . . .
Jesus will make me cheerful.

I’m clinging to my victories,
as the storm continues to rage on
I may be weary today
but, tomorrow . . .
Jesus will bring the sun.

I’m clinging to my victories,
though everything’s a total loss
I may be bankrupt today
but, my debt . . .
Jesus took care of on the cross!

1 Corinthians 15:57
King James Version

“But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

My Road Map ~

The Word is my road map,
that guides me along my way
leading me with great wisdom
to help me through my day.

When I am at a crossroad,
not sure of the way to go
I ask Jesus for directions
so the true way I will know.

When I find I’m too weary,
to make it down the road
I pray for His endurance
to help me with my load.

When I get off His path,
and I wander on my own
I get down on my knees
till His way for me is shown.

Yes, the Word is our road map,
the perfect guide for each of us
but we must read the scriptures
if in Jesus we’re going to trust!

His Soldiers ~

Weary hearts,
anxious minds
come to Me
I’ll make you mine.

Hide Me within,
your heart today
I’ll be with you
I’ll show the way.

Tired soldiers,
fighting strong
trust in Me
I’m never wrong.

I hear your fatigued,
battle cries
I see the tears
in your eyes.

But rest assured,
the fight we will win
the day I come . . .
to put an end to sin!

Those Who Wait On the Lord ~

Those who wait on the Lord,
shall ride out the storm ahead
they shall climb over any doubt
for they are Spirit lead.

Those who wait on the Lord,
shall fly against the strongest gust
they shall soar above their sorrow
because in God they trust.

Those who wait on the Lord,
shall run a good and faithful race
they shall not grow faint or weary
for they are filled with His grace.

Those who wait on the Lord,
shall walk the talk they believe in
they shall go up against this world
and not get caught up in sin.

Those who wait on the Lord,
shall arise and take their stand
they shall rise up against temptation
for they put their life in His hand.

Those who wait on the Lord,
shall conquer every doubt and fear
they shall endure to the end
for they know His Kingdom is near!

~~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 40:31
King James Version

“But those who wait on the Lord,
shall renew their strength:
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.”

Jesus Will See You Through ~

Though your mind is weary,
and your spirit is feeling small
though your load is heavy
and your tears are like a waterfall.

Though the trial before you,
looks like the tallest mountain peak
and the hardship you now must face
is making you feel faint and weak.

Though you cannot see the future,
nor do you know where it might lead
and you don’t have the resources
for everything that you need.

Though your mind can’t understand,
and your body has not the wherewithal
lift your soul to Jesus . . .
who will see you through it all!

~~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 6:34
King James Version

“Take therefore no thought
for the morrow: for the morrow
shall take thought
for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof.”

Autumn Blessings ~

Autumn brings to the soul relief,
as hot Summer days, slip to an end
God sent the season for weary hearts
to restore, repair and mend.

Unlike the Autumn trees,
that shed their changing leaves
God sent the season for failing hearts
to adhere, embrace and cleave.

Just as with the Autumn winds,
there comes a new refreshing rain
God sent the season for fraying hearts
to increase, grow and gain.

The Autumn sun is slow to climb,
and dips much earlier into the night
God sent the season for sleepy hearts
to rise, shine and awake in His light.

God gave to us the Autumn season,
so we could have a respite and rest
for it is the season for our beset souls
to see how much we are blessed!

Psalm 16:9
King James Version

“Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest
in hope.”
