God has charged Himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn into faith to Him.
From Psalm 146:5-6: “They will recount the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works I will meditate. They will proclaim the might of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.”
Drought hardens fertile land
Faithfully sowing seeds
Reaching out to God’s hand
Praying for farmers’ needs
Weather forecasts no rain
Boldness in faith remains
Praying for crops of grain
Holding tight to God’s reins
Clouds covering high plains
Showers dancing away
Leaving tears, without rain
Filling hours with prayer
Faith shall never waver
Perseverance, God’s domain
Seeking His good favor
Waiting out this campaign
Steadfast prayers prevail
Bountiful, earthly grace
Sharing rain without fail
Bringing smiles to each face
From 1 Peter 1:3-4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.”
Evil’s darkness surrounds
Encroaching with its sin
Life looks to turn around
Wolf hiding in sheepskin
Fraud’s light leads some astray
Moving away from God
Grace opens its doorway
Christ shatters hell’s facade
Resurrection’s new hope
Building faith’s foundation
Salvation, Christ’s tow rope
Father’s promised station
Word speaks of Lord’s power
Calling all to stand firm
Each and every hour
Holy Spirit confirms
Faith anchored in His care
Wearing God’s armored vest
All times, kneeling in prayer
Mercy braves each test
From Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having prevailed against everything, to stand firm.”
To hunger and thirst after righteousness is when nothing in the world can fascinate us so much as being near God.
From Hebrews 11:1-3: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.”
We can have full confidence in God’s promises because we can have full faith in His character.
From Hebrews 10:23: “Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who has promised is faithful.”

Burn your bridges behind you, and stand committed to God by your own act . . . make your decisions in the light of the high hour.
From John 12:35-36: “Jesus said to them, ‘The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.'”
