Our #Memory Lives On, #Eternal – v4 #poetry #Ukraine #God #prayer #war #terror #genocide #Russia #peace #victory #TarasShevchenko #Taras #Shevchenko #muse #Ukrainian #glory #serfdom #prison #freedom #independence #history

Let us remember every soul,
every innocent heart,
every life taken by madness—
a war they never asked for,
genocide that burst into their homes...

Let us pray for their memory
to never be forgotten...

Let us pause for a moment
to remember their sacrifice for freedom—
Those who held the line,
cherishing their dreams
before they were taken from us...

Let us remember in word and deed
those who stand on the front lines...

Let us stand with Ukraine
while we still breathe
in peace, in freedom...
for they are fighting for humanity
against tyranny and evil...

Let us unite in prayer...
Let us always remember...

#angels in the #temple #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #admit #angels #2Kings6 #Matthew21

a presence palpable, an army,
though my vision was clouded,
sensing their hands in prayer
resting on every shoulder...

angels in the temple
saints who love us
praying for us, touching,
our bodies, our souls...

we cannot see them
but I felt them with us
guardians of our hearts
seeking our good...

just for those moments
as he prayed this scripture
love surrounding each saint,
worshiping, in prayer...

Even in joy
after the Resurrection
some of them doubted
while worshiping God...

Some doubted
standing with Jesus
our risen Lord and Savior
alive, now wholly God...

Yet, they were commissioned
to make disciples
so we too walk
with stumbling feet...

We are commissioned
with the saints before us
even when we doubt
when we struggle in this life...

Christ is still risen
sanctified in heaven
We work in these fields
until He returns...

We are trapped in chains
our virtual prisons,
calls from our pasts
for us to return...

God makes a way
for the chains to be broken...
We must rise, free...
We must walk in His light...

Satan wants us
in our prisons...
God calls us
to rise, to come out...

Break every chain, Lord,
that binds me...
I long to walk
in Your glorious light...

What do I #fear – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit #Psalm56

What do I fear
in this time of decision...
Is this life so precious
the wreckage, the chaos,
of my shattered pieces...

What do I fear
in my heart, my spirit...
Why do I have these doubts
to trust God only
with my will, my life...

What do I fear
in changing, repenting,
on my journey, my walk,
What would I abandon
if I surrender my life...

What do I fear
Why do I stumble...
What are my idols
Why do they stop me
from trusting in God...

#Help me to walk #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit #Psalm56

Help me to walk
in the light of life...
Help me not to fear;
Help me to trust
in You alone
for You are my God...

Help me to walk
in safety, assured,
Help me to walk
in Your love, oh Lord...
Alone I am lost
wandering in the world...

Help me to cast out
all my fears
though my enemy
surrounds me...
His claws grip me
but in You
I am safe from harm...

when we hear Your #voice #poetry #God #confess #repent #forgive #prayer #forgiveness #pray

You are here, with us,
You are our shepherd
with us in the storm
We walk by faith...

You hear our cries
You come and protect us
tearing down our enemies
You will repay them
for You are the Righteous Judge...

We will sing Your praise
You alone are sovereign
You have mercy on us
We will sing for joy
in Your mighty fortress...

#Crucify my #flesh #poetry #God #confess #repent #forgive #prayer #forgiveness #pray

Crucify my flesh, my will,
change me completely
May I abide in the vine
restored forever, ever
walking with my Savior
God’s Spirit indwelling
guiding my steps...

Put to death my sin,
my will, my flesh
Conform my heart
to Your way
to Your calling
Your purpose for me
Crucify my flesh
oh God, into Your servant...
Transform me...

within You we bear #fruit #poetry #God #confess #repent #forgive #prayer #forgiveness #pray

we abide, we thrive,
within the vine, the body,
within You we bear fruit
our lives connected
to the source, to the vine,
in You we have life...

together with You
we are fully alive
we bear fruit
within the body
when we are whole,
connected to the vine...

help us to follow
to never waver
lead us to listen
to the Spirit
to always abide
within the vine...

Free me through Your blessing
Your act of infinite grace
Fill me to overflowing
Let me do the work...

I praise You for salvation
Your work on the cross
Help me to follow,
To forgive, to make amends...

Free me from the chains,
Self-help doesn’t work,
Conform my steps, oh Lord,
