through the storms - 2

through the storms
the darkest valleys
in the fire
God is with us
we do not walk alone
in our trials in life
God is with us
leading us through the fire
safe with Him
when the waters rage.

Happy in my skin

Happy in my skin
to withstand the pressure
a peace with who I am
with what I believe
Being me, authentic,
in my living, my walk
following God only
the source of my strength.

when pressure builds

when pressure build
turn to God
when storms come
count on God
when we doubt
trust in God
when we struggle
reach for God.

Seeking the Approval of God

a different spin
a different focus
seeking treasure
not of the earth.

conforming my steps
to the steps of God
not giving in
to the ways of the flesh.

seeking the approval of God
more than anything else
aligning my steps
to the way of Christ.

positive pressure

“peer pressure”,
the words evoke the negative,
giving in, following
being part of the crowd
but peer pressure
can be positive
in acts of submission
in following our Savior
and how He showed love
for Christ is our brother
as were the disciples
all who believed
when they heard the Word
positive pressure
to conform to the better
following the way
of God, of the Christ.
