Never Alone!

The clouds are growing darker and so is my heart,

I want to love everyone but sometimes it seems so hard.

So many people have hurt me in so many ways,

It seems like I am lost in a confusion of daze.

Feeling all alone with no one by my side,

But when I lift my chin I see someone in whom I can confide.

Even in the worst days HE is always there,

He shows me that HE will always care.

I wish I could go home with Him today,

But there are many more people on the earth that need some help finding the way.

Our purpose on this earth is not to live for ourselves,

But to live for someone greater and not just leave His word on the bookshelves.

Some people never hear about the Lord and the great things HE has done,

That is what we are here for, to spread the word of the One and Only Son.

He died for us to show His love,

And we should live for Him who waits for us above.

So many times I get caught up in this world, I try to do things on my own then I fall in a swamp full of alligators ready to devour me whole. After sobbing and fearing my life is gone, the lord reaches out his hand and lifts me out of the torture. He wipes my eyes and reminds me once again I cannot do things on my own, and I do not have to try, because the Lord is always with me & with Him I can do anything! :D

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:31

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Matthew 5:15

Worry & Doubt!

Though I know He has never directed me wrong,

I worry if I can take this on and stay just as strong?

I have so many opportunities but I want just one,

Even though they have decided to move on.

I know whatever the Lord has in-store

Will be so much better than before!

I try not to doubt but then I look around

And just like Peter I start to drown.

We have all experienced worry and doubt sometime in our lives,

But when we hand it over to God, he always provides!

It is very hard to be in doubt and not have total control,

But handed over to Him, He can make us whole!

My worries are like tornadoes, all they do is damage,

Through my Faith in God I will never go without a bandage.

He heals my open wounds and picks me up to my feet

And in the end I know with Him I cannot be beat!

Handing over our problems to the Lord makes everything turn out so much better! So many times when we try to do things on our own they turn out worse than we ever expected, but when the Lord is in control everything seems to turn out so much better than expected! J

Sometimes in life I forget to give Him the Glory. I try to say I did it on my own; I try to take His glory for my own. But why, do I not know that it is only through Him I am alive, do I not understand that He gives me strength to do anything? Sometimes this world tries to make us think that we are the mighty ones, and that we can do everything on our own, but in all reality without God none of us would be here!

⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; 
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 ⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him, 
and he shall direct thy paths.
 Proverbs 3:5-6
