Life feels upside down

Angry with fists clenched

Barking back at God

You have forsaken me

 

Please, please my Lord

Don’t push me away

Heart fills with courage

Waiting for my God

 

Look around to witness

Patience comes to many

Those immersed in faith

Righteous saints never forsaken

 

God asks for perseverance

More to one’s life

Than just plain enduring

Bring me staying power

 

God is my stronghold

In times of distress

For those seeking him

God will never forsake

 

God always walks ahead

He was with Moses

He’ll be with you

Never to forsake you

 

Ask for God’s protection

Through faithful, fervent prayer

God’s justice will return

Never, ever be forsaken

 

Open hands, open arms

Looking up toward God

Submitting to my Lord

Never to be forsaken

Lee Strobel Quote

There’s a unique sense of fulfillment that comes when we submit our gifts to God’s use and ask Him to energize them in a supernatural way–and then step back to watch what He does.

From 1 Timothy 4:14:  “Do not neglect the gift that is in you.”

Lee Strobel (born 1952) is an American Christian author.  Before accepting Jesus Christ, his former life revolved around investigative journalism.

Charles Swindoll Quote

To be humble in heart . . . is to be submissive to the core.  It involves being more interested in serving the needs of others than in having one’s own needs met.

From Philippians 2:3-4:  “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.  Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”

Faith’s Testaments (Haiku Series #119)
