Always by My Side

In the deepest, darkest pit You were there When all abandoned me You knew my grief When I was struck You felt the pain When fear paralyzed me You were beside me When others heckled me Your words soothed me When rejected, cast aside You pulled me near When tears engulfed me You wiped them […]

Prayer Journey —Lonely But Not Alone

Disappointment fills me this morning. Expectations unfulfilled. People who I thought cared, show no concern. I cannot fathom why. I feel isolated, alone. Yet God gently whispers, “I am here.” Thank you dear God that you never leave us. Even though we may question your purposes, you don’t desert us. All praise to you Lord […]

A Tribute to God Our Father

Today is Father’s Day, a day to also recognize God our Father. We are His children. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Gen 1:27 NIV) We are his creation. It is right to set aside this day for God […]

Morning Praise — The Artist’s Touch

We are your fine artwork dear God. You shaped us with your very hands. We close our eyes and feel your touch upon our face, shaping the lines of our face; our cheekbones, eyes, ears and mouth; our entire body is your handiwork. Like a weaver, you carefully craft a fine tapestry of hair on […]

Towering Faith

Tiny saplings reaching up Toward sky so blue above Young faith taking root With new found faith in God Growing up in shadows Of God’s faithful high above Towering trees rising up Above tiny saplings below Deep roots holding strong Against many storms of life Canopy of green leaves Glowing in light above Branches skim […]

Prayer Journey — Basking in the Glory of the Lord

As the sun rises this morning I think of how you dear Lord have ordered everything on this earth. From the atom to the universe there is order in your creation. I praise you for the beauty of your creation; the vibrant colors, the smells and the feeling of sand between our toes. All the […]
