    When Thoughts Trouble

    I pray to the Lord When thoughts trouble my mind. I put my trust in Him. Then, peace I do find. I have no control Over what others do. They all have the freedom To others subdue. It pains me to watch How some lie and they trick. Their plans are so sneaky. Their words are so slick. They hate...

    Proverbs 13:12 NASB “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” As I contemplated the meaning of this proverb, and as I prayed for understanding, there were two main “deferred hopes” that came to mind. The first one is the hope of salvation for my loved ones...

    His Angry Whacks

    When Satan throws his angry whacks Against our Lord, he does attack Against His servants, His Word, too; We trust our Lord and His will do. We put on Armor, fight with Sword; We trust His Word, obey our Lord. When battle’s fierce and fraught with fright, We don’t do wrong. We do what’s right...

    In the Fear of You

    Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. 2 Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. 3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. 4 For you are not a God who delights in...

    When Teardrops Fall

    When the teardrops fall, I do call on my Lord. He is my support as I walk through the storm. In the womb of my mother, my life He did form, All that was for me He had planned ‘fore I was born. God never promised us a life without tears, A life without misery, a life without fears. Our Lord...
