From Psalm 46:1:  “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Imperfect life’s darkness

One more faltering step

Defeat again knocking

Discouragement’s doorstep

Observing faithful light

Glowing with lasting hope

Strength in adversity

Grasping mercy’s firm rope

Hearing Father, trust grows

Transforming future days

Faith journey maturing

Receiving grace, let’s pray

Evil’s message scuttled

Healing from Father’s hand

Peace brings lasting comfort

Affirming His commands

Beholding mighty works

Melting away concerns

Impossible vanquished

Trusting Father’s U-turn

From the words of English-born preacher Charles Inwood:  “When God is going to do a wonderful thing, He begins with a difficulty.  When He is going to do a very wonderful thing, He begins with an impossibility.”
