From 2 Timothy 1:3-4: “I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.”
Witnessing God’s desires each day
Growing in faith, kneeling to pray
Coming to our Savior in faith
Sharing blessings of the Good News
Telling others about Jesus
Understanding the Gospel’s views
Calling on the name of the Lord
Believing in His divine Grace
Saving us through body and blood
Walking with Christ, our special place
Studying Biblical teachings
Guiding others, led by God’s love
Drawing ever closer to Christ
Coveting His peace, from above
Abiding in Christ, the true vine
Encouraging our daily walk
Building stamina and our faith
Lighting our path, around the clock
Living under God’s righteousness
Trusting our Father day and night
Submitting to sacred commands
Transforming lives through faith’s daylight
Breathing with Savior’s peace and joy
Running to Jesus, faith’s convoy
From Philippians 4:19: “And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Thanks for noticing this technique. In some of my poems, I try to begin with an “active” verb. Action is an important purpose behind God’s Word in our lives.
