Talk With Him

Do we only pray when things go wrong?
When disturbances darken our soul?
We must learn to praise when things are right,
When questions rise,
When answers come,
When day begins,
When night’s begun.
Pray, without ceasing. Just--Talk with Him.

Walk in the way that Jesus once walked;
That must be the way He lives in you.
He often went out alone to pray,
Never for show
But from His love.
Always from grace
That He provides,
Pray, without ending. Just--Talk with Him.

We’re not here to prove God answers prayer,
(He may not answer as we desire.)
We’re to be living pictures of grace.
God answers prayer
By helping us
Be in complete
Oneness with God!
Pray, unceasingly--Talk with Him.

I Will Continue

“Blessed is the nation
 Whose God is the Lord.”
In but a breath of time,
Our nation has gone
 From seeking freedom of religion
 To screams of freedom from religion!
We are no longer “One nation, under God.”
We are divided
 Between those who believe God
  And those who slam all Christians;
 Between those who have, but want more;
  And those who have not, and want what others work for;
 And those between these extremes.

I will not hide!
I believe in God, the Almighty!
I believe He has a purpose for all..
 Even for the “godless.”
I am not privy to His “Big Picture,”
 I am but one tiny speck
 In the far left corner, under a thorny rosebush.
But, I know my part.
I will continue to believe,
 To serve my Savior by serving others.
I will continue to believe,
 To pray for my nation to return “under God.”
I will continue to believe,
 And to understand,
 That God is always in control.

I -- Will -- Continue - To - Believe !

Your Hand

Your hand, Lord, rests upon me,
To support and to maintain,
To love, encourage, and chastise.
However I may falter,
Your hand fulfills the promise
That I am not alone.


from Conversations With God, page 166

Are You Insecure?

Are you feeling useless?
Are you insecure?
Do you feel unworthy,
Insignificant, or used up?
Do you allow these feelings
To rob you of God’s abundance?

Struggling with such doubts and questions,
Do you feel unlovable?
Do you ever ask yourself,
“How can God forgive me?
How can He use me for His purpose?”

God’s desire is for your good,
To bless you in your living.
Love itself defines His being.
He will never cease to love,
For that would be a lie.
He can not love you more,
Nor will He love you less
Than sending Christ, His only Son
To die on Calvary’s cross.

Based not upon your worthiness
But on His own, unchanging self,
He always offers hope, and peace.
And His unconditional love.
His unquenchable mercy
Will always be available.
So, be transformed by His Holy love,
For nothing else can take His place.

Build relationship with God
Within your heart, your soul.
Believe God’s Word, not your feelings
And be certain of His love.
Let your faith free you from doubts,
Then, be fruitful unto Him.

In Balance

You calm me down when I’m upset;
You cheer me up when I’m downcast.
You keep me, Lord, in perfect balance.
When You are all and I am nil;
When I obey Your every wish,
Then, Lord, am I in perfect balance.
