I Will Trust 

Through cruel sorrows

Suffering and despair

I will trust 

When summer scorches

And rains begin to flood

I will trust 

When drowned by tears

And hearts are torn apart

I will trust

When night prevents 

The sun from shining 

I will trust 

We are created 

We are loved

I will trust 

Stepping Stones

Every step we take 

If taken in faith 

Will lead us to 

The other side –

It will happen

Just believe 

Faith

Hold fast and never let go!

Six Word Poems #I-IV

My life is in your hands

My life is in my hands

Your life is in my hands

Your life is in your hands

Place of Safety

imageI turn to the sun
And see brightness and light
I look within
And feel courage and life
In the depths of despair
I hold out my arms
And am gently lifted
From the dark well surrounds
To the higher, brighter
Sun-drenched place
Of life, and light, and safety

The Road Ahead

The road stretches
Far from my view
Wherever I may go
Whatever I may do
I trust this road
To lead me safely
To you

The Light

My Very First Poem!

When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light

When sadness overwhelms
And you have lost your sight
A few gentle steps
Moving towards the light

When wounds begin to heal
We sense that near delight
Stirs our waking heart
Embracing inner light

When happiness is found
And all is calm and bright
Ever keep on reaching
Onwards towards the light

Happy 2nd Birthday to

Place of Safety

image

This morning I thought about a spiritual ‘place of safety’. A place of prayer and quietness where we can connect with our Creator and know that we are loved. How natural experiences can leave us with such a void inside that there is nowhere to go, but onto our knees to connect with our Lord. I would like to share something very personal that happened today. The term was so strongly pressed on my heart, I was trying to find references of safety in my morning study, and thinking of a poem I wrote a year ago titled the same ‘Place of Safety’. I know that I am believing in a living God when we were invited to sing a hymn this afternoon and right there in the first verse were the exact words ‘place of safety’ mentioned. Where to find a place of safety when hiding from storms so near? This was after I wrote my previous post Self-Sabotage. It was mentioned to me many years ago – we may not like to invite experiences to cross our path, but always be thankful for whatever may bring one to a place of prayer. A place of prayer and safety.

‘Is the master at the helm?
Hear him whisper, peace be still’

Sunday Prayer

Draw me closer
Closer to Thee
Keep me nearer
Nearer to Thee
You are my Father
I am your child
On my knees, Lord
My heart prays to Thee
