I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last posted. Life has been crazy and I really haven’t been able to sit and listen to the Lord for awhile amongst my own thoughts. A young couple at our church is facing scary times right now, and I asked God to give me words to comfort them. I pray these words comfort others, too.

Remember Your Faith

Some mysteries belong to God;
His ways are not our own.
And though we may not understand,
Our faith & trust are grown.
We sometimes suffer pain & loss;
We sometimes know great fear.
But even in the darkest times,
We know that God is near.
He promises to hold us up,
Give strength & comfort,  too.
He will provide our every need,
With love to see us through.
As Peter walking on the waves,
We need to keep our eyes
Steadfastly on our Savior and
Away from stormy skies.
When pain and fear control our world,
We must turn to the Son.
We need to trust in Him and say,
“My Lord, Thy will be done.”

Feel free to print, share or repost anything on this blog. I do ask that you let me know if you use one of my poems on your blog or at your church somehow. It might give me an idea of better ways to spread His words, which I am always looking to do. And of course, always keep the copyright symbol and my name with the poem so I continue to have the right to use them. You may not realize that if something is posted enough times without the copyright notice, I could lose the copyright and then someone else could conceivably file for a copyright and I would no longer be able to use my own poems! It has happened, so please make sure the (c) is always on the poem whenever you repost. Thanks!

God bless,
Denise McKenney
