The challenge before us is to have faith in God, and the hardest part of faith is waiting.
From 1 Corinthians 16:13-14: “Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
From Isaiah 40:31: “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

God’s caring faith fills our nearly empty hearts
God loves us with His passion, our lives restart
With passion more intense than any previous storm
Flashes of fire, a burning flame—we become reborn
God sends unconditional passion, a zest for life
Passion means more than just love without strife
Recharge those spiritual batteries, putting God first
Fuels growing faith, Jesus rises to quench our thirst
God seeks a prayer-filled linking, He really does
Strengthening us with His Spirit from high above
To God and Jesus, sustaining a life-long commitment
Witnessing amazing things, filling us with contentment
Through our faith, Christ resides in our hearts
Counting our blessings, bringing love to impart
Passion-filled emotions—being true to the call of our Lord
Igniting fires of action, a passionate life comes on board
Now with our eternal love firmly rooted in Jesus’ love
Life’s experiences become richer and deeper because
Our loving, caring Father loves each of His offspring
Passionate about Jesus, we will joyfully, forever sing
Experiencing with God, a more passionate faith
Personifying into a more passionate life to make
Passionate Faith
Passionate Life
Passionate Joy

From Psalm 92:4: “For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.”

Faith in God will not get for you everything you want, but it will get for you what God wants you to have. The unbeliever does not need what he wants; the Christian should want only what he needs.
From Proverbs 16:9: “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

Sitting in darkness
Feeling so lonesome
Dealing with sadness
Silence still fearsome
Waking at night
Harsh dreams exist
Silent images in sight
Dark visions persist
Feeling infinitely restless
Nearly every day
This mind will confess
Nothing but gray
What voices speak
To a lonely heart
No one to greet
Needing a restart
This world filled
With eerie muteness
No longer a thrill
Never a kindness
Who hears at all?
Silence sadly grows
Landing with a fall
No embers glow
Forget this life
So long ago
No more strife
Waiting to go
Too much “stuff”
To deal with
Darkness is enough
This life drifts
Special love lost
Many years ago
A ring is tossed
Away it goes
Empty, shattered heart
Now freezing cold
Alone in the dark
No longer bold
My Lord, my God
Bring light to bear
Be an awesome God
Help one to care
In total blackness
Of a lost night
Words of brightness
Feeling so right
God’s truthful voice
Speaks loud and clear
Brings a perfect choice
No longer in fear
Cutting the quietness
Like a warm knife
God brings sunniness
Saves another life
Falling to knees
Now in prayer
Sad emotions flee
This soul cares
Kneeling at the Cross
Laying down sins
Repentance, now costs
Accept Christ within
Beholding Christ’s Salvation
Help to break out
Heart fills with elation
Lighting a shout

Living in Christ brings believers true and faithful contentment. Apostle Paul writes much about experiencing content with our faith and remaining true to God’s calling. His writings inspire this poem.

Encourage others as God encourages each of us
Be patient with others, may we always bring trust
Give thanks for all of God’s blessings
Be a prayer warrior at every setting
Allow Christ to shine through in all we do
Be filled with the Spirit, faithful and true
Hold dear to our hearts, all that is good
Be thankful to God, as we always should
Fiery ordeals and daily trials will always challenge all
Be an eyewitness to Christ’s sufferings, never to fall
God is sovereign and forever in control of it all
Be aware, all things work together, forever tall
When God’s glory is finally revealed on that day
Be shouting with amazing grace, sing as we may
We bring nothing into this world we live
Be content with little, the rest God gives
The love of money brings evil times
Be taking nothing, not even a dime
Bring together godliness with contentment
Be willing to follow every Commandment
Despite our weaknesses, Christ dwells within thee
Be content with calamities and hardships we see
God’s Grace is sufficient for everyone
Be thankful for the sacrifice of His Son
Christ resides in our hearts, He yearns to save
Be strengthened with blood and body He gave
Always rely on God’s strength and mighty clout
Be content, following His Word, never in doubt
Love of Christ surpasses all that we ever see
Be grateful and shower blessings, take a knee
How does God’s Word bring you contentment? Does a special verse of Scripture sing out to you?

A tried Christian grows rich by his loses, he rises by his falls, he lives by dying, and he becomes full by being emptied.
From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.”
