From Isaiah 49:1: “Listen to me, O coastlands; pay attention, you peoples from far away! The Lord called me before I was born; while I was in my mother’s womb He named me.”
Long before my birth
Father knew my name
Yes, creating me
No one shall be the same
Witnessing His grace
Father builds my trust
Day’s resolve strengthens
Righteousness now entrust
Providing for needs
Father’s light leads me
Mountains become roads
Future path, clear to see
Serving life’s purpose
Father never awed
My green pastures wait
Forever, child of God
Praising Savior Christ
My blessed salvation
New life now christened
Father’s creation
From Isaiah 49:13: “Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people and will have compassion on his suffering ones.”

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
From 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was an American author, poet, and civil rights activist. Her body of published work is found in autobiographies, essays, poems, and numerous credits in plays, movies, and television shows.

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.”
