From Psalm 31:3-5:  “You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake lead me and guide me, take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for you are my refuge.  Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.”

When daily life tumbles

Love and kindness arrive

Helping hand reaching out

Spirit bringing high fives

When little steps tumble

Curious toddler falls

Mother offers sweet hugs

Spirit’s love never stalls

When career takes tumble

One avenue closes

Another path opens

Spirit turns up roses

Healthy life takes tumble

Caring neighbors help out

Lending love’s blissful hands

Spirit waters our drought

Shame stings with sin’s tumble

Darkness changes to light

Jesus calls out with love

Spirit’s grace glowing bright

From Romans 8:26-27:  “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.  And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
