241220 While Waiting

 While Waiting

What do you do while waiting for
A prayer to open heaven's door
What do you do once God implore
Say, it's no use, I've prayed before

How do you behave while you wait
Most eagerly anticipate 
The answer you've been praying for
Because he's answered many more

Or is your mind filled up with doubt
Since other prayers did not work out 
And so you're anxious while you wait
Afraid disaster is your fate

You know God's answer's never late
But what do you do while you wait
Repeat yourself ad nauseum
To make sure God will hear you, then

Or ask him once, call it a day
For really, what more can you say
Then go on with the things you must
Knowing he'll answer, 'cause you trust

Once your dear Father knows your heart
Then waiting is the hardest part
Yet, that is where your faith will grow
While still in land of " I don't know "

For as your waiting becomes longer
Your faith and trust are growing stronger
Of this fact, there is no debate
God has a purpose in the wait

He knows and sees what we can't see
Is lining up things perfectly
So, place your requests in his hands
Knowing that you can trust his plans 

Have faith and don't give up in fear
Until God's answer becomes clear
For doubt and fear to dissipate 
Worship and praise Him while you wait

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

  Choose Joy Whenever there's a choice to make Let joy be path you choose to take When love and hate are on the scale Let love be one that does prevail When anger - patience doth compete And people we tend to mistreat It's said we sow in what we reap So, sow in patience- temper keep When circumstances bring you down And all you want to do is frown Choose happiness instead, my friend Then soon you'll see your sadness end I know it's easier said than done Often more battles devil's won But get back up and try some more  For after all, God's won the war Choose kindness 'stead of getting back Instead of shortness, practice tact With every godly choice you make The devil's grip begins to break With practice, then quite soon you'll see Good choices come more easily Thus, love and joy will conquer strife Becoming hallmark of your life

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
