From Philippians 4:5-6: “ Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

Like Apostle Paul
Facing dark trials
Acts of injustice
Covering each mile
Never complaining
Rejoicing with joy
Each of life’s moments
Shirking evil’s ploy
Eyes fixed on Jesus
Refocusing lens
Worry set aside
Walking with our friend
Troubles fall away
Accepting Christ’s Word
Life’s highway brightens
Seeing hope, unblurred
Hearts and minds open
Learning more each day
Jesus strengthens us
Kneeling now, let’s pray

From Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
I love the part of “refocusing our lens.” This poem has me wanting to bow my knee and pray, rejoicing with joy!
