Facing uncertainty

More questions than actions

Reaching out to Father

Love’s trusted interactions

 

Harboring inner doubts

Weakened by rising tides

Praying now to Father

Mercy brings answers to guide

 

Choosing to always trust

Assurance speaks to heart

Listening to Father

Grace nourishing faith’s fresh start

 

Tasting heavenly joy

Life’s outlook now renewed

Receiving from Father

Page turned, filled with gratitude

 

Rejoicing in hope’s light

Righteous path before thee

Conversing with Father

His peace calms as darkness flees

Cherished Whisper Calls

Every wilderness journey

Another footprint unknown

Tomorrow always uncertain

Turning over each heavy stone

 

Lost among daylight’s darkness

With every tentative step

Smallest ember of light’s beacon

Finding vacant cabin’s doorstep

 

Door’s rusted hinges swing free

Waiting, barely hanging on

Vivid memories gather now

Warmly colored with worn crayons

 

Bushel of thoughts now arrive

Rekindled glow from fireplace

Yesterday no longer frozen

Gentleness cradles weathered face

 

Surrounded in breathless peace

Slumber’s cherished whisper calls

Weariness at last overcomes

Cuddled under nightly dream’s shawl

There is unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.

From Isaiah 26:3-4:  “Those of steadfast mind You keep in peace, in peace because they trust in You.  Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God.”

Uncertain darkness

Surrounds me this day

Humbly take a knee

Bowing now to pray

 

Prayers calling God

Remain unhurried

Unanswered questions

Never be worried

 

Christ’s teachings feed thee

With the bread of life

This eternal gift

Blessings without strife

 

Lord of life and love

He feeds and frees all

Through His Holy Word

Never builds a wall

 

Allow me to pause

God prods thee along

Hearing His questions

Answers make me strong

 

God everlasting

Faith remains with thee

Through life’s harsh chaos

Calming stormy seas

From Romans 10:10-13:  “ For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.  The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in Him will be put to shame.’  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on Him.  For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'”

Uncertainty Arrives

Turning life’s empty page

Optimism running dry

Uncertainty arrives

Shifting darkness stands by

 

Flickering light of thoughts

Mind never seeking rest

Sporadic, impatient

Inviting nightly guest

 

Dreaming, story unfolds

Deeper into its script

Narrative continues

Typing empty transcript

 

Soothing spirit walks in

Please, please never depart

Stardust now raining down

Replacing mind with heart

 

Waking at early dawn

Empty page, still waiting

Writer’s pen left untouched

Seeing light, dictating

From Romans 15:13:  “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Life’s journey suddenly growing cold

Living under clouds of uncertainty

No longer feeling confident and bold

 

Even confident people possess fears

Overcome by unplanned dilemmas

Feeling much like the rest of our peers

 

Our faithful prayers will be heard

God’s will scatters those stormy clouds

Never lose hope, listen to His Word

 

As neighbors, our love supports each other

Through our steadfast encouragement

Children of God, true sisters and brothers

 

Tackling problems on life’s clipboard

Filled with determination and courage

Walking in confidence with our Lord

From the words of German-Dutch Christian author, Thomas a Kempis:  “Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.”

From John 12:34:  “The crowd answered Him, ‘We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever.  How can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up?  Who is this Son of Man?'”

Walking in darkness

Uncertainty’s steps

Faith seeking answers

Burdened with each misstep

 

Encouraging love

Redemption’s risen light

Faith finding its way

Son of Man stands upright

 

Seeking heaven’s peace

Spirit guides actions

Faith’s revealing trust

Calvary’s transaction

 

Believing in Christ

Shadows fade away

Faith sharing Gospel

In His name, let us pray

 

Reflecting hope’s path

Truth’s lantern reveals

Faith, Jesus leading

Safe passage, grace shall seal

From John 12:35-36:  “Jesus said to them, ‘The light is in 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.'”

Life filled with uncertainty

Wondering where next step leads

Eyes witness dark, empty tomb

Reaping Father’s faithful seeds

 

Holy Word always certain

Lighting up life’s righteous road

Father’s mercy surprises

Meeting us at life’s crossroads

 

Days fill with expectancy

Trading our uncertain ways

Jesus Christ, faith’s lightning rod

Navigating through life’s maize

 

Certain of each tomorrow

Teaching His children through grace

New life begins at one cross

Praising Savior, now embrace

 

Certain in uncertainty

Praying, filled with fortitude

Spiritual life blossoms

Building hope’s new attitude
