Waiting

Posted in Healing, Poetry, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 11, 2013| 10 Comments »

I wait

I wait for God
to open new doors
portals of change
though I’m not sure what

I wait for God
to meet my needs
physical and emotional
though I’m not sure how

I wait for God
to guide my steps
forward or sideways
though I’m not sure where

I wait

I wait for clarity
I wait for decisions
I wait for answers
I wait for understanding

I wait

Waiting feels helpless
powerless and futile
I want to take action
I want to have answers

Then I remember
the power in waiting
in truly waiting on God
and sitting in stillness

I can have peace while I wait
freedom in resting
deep breath in, deep breath out
I don’t have to see the whole picture
to know it is there

I can have trust while I wait
freedom in releasing
God will be there
even if I don’t know what my life will be

I can have hope while I wait
freedom in rejoicing
God is my life focus
and nothing else matters

I decide
that I will have faith
while I wait

Psalm 37

Posted in Poetry, Praise, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 2, 2012| 10 Comments »

Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart

Oh, how often
do we read
this promise
dreaming of
diamonds
and Playstations
and new jobs
or perfect spouses

dreaming
shiny new toys
are on their way
for good girls and boys

But
I don’t think it means
anything such as that

For when we truly delight
in God
when we truly focus
on Him
and all that He is,
everything else
melts away

We stop caring about
new toys
new jobs
new talents
new things

And He becomes
the only desire
the only delight
and all that we need
in this world

Psalm 37

What does love
feel like,
look like,
sound like
to you?

The answer will be so different for each of us…

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section!

Prayer for the New Year

Posted in Praise, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on December 31, 2011| 2 Comments »

Dear Heavenly Father,

A new year approaches

I thank you for the opportunity it brings

to see you better
to know you deeper
to let go of my need for control
let go of my need to know all the answers
before I even know the questions

another opportunity to start fresh

to learn something new
to love
to trust
to sing

to sit in your arms

Thank you for loving me
even though I don’t understand it all the time
I know it’s real
and I will cherish it.

But I Need to Know

Posted in Poetry, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , on November 30, 2011| 4 Comments »

So many timesLetting Go
I act like I have to figure everything out
on my own

The burden rests on me
The answers must come
from me

Why don’t I know?
What’s wrong with me?
People are expecting me to know…

But really, they aren’t – I am.

I don’t have to know
I don’t have to figure everything out
I don’t have to know how it will all turn out

I have to turn it over to God.
I have to step away.
I have to stop trying to do it all myself.
I am not by myself.

God will take over; He will handle it
I just have to let him
