like Job after his testing

we will be redeemed
out of God’s mercy...
we will be renewed
climbing on eagle’s wings
like Job after his testing...
we are raised from the pit...

God is all-powerful
He is eternally good
merciful in His judgment...
we are restored in abundance
more than we had lost...

we are renewed in our hearts...

into Your #hands – 3 – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

Whatever is good
in Your perfect will...
into Your hands
I place my trust
I give my life over
Into Your hands, oh, God...

I surrender my demands...
I confess I am broken...
I abandon my cries for justice...
into Your hands of mercy
I trust Your judgment -
Whatever You believe is right,
Only Your love, oh, God...

Whatever is good in Your sight,
whatever is fair in Your judgment,
I leave these to You,
Oh, Father God Alimighty,
I trust in Your only,
Your perfect will...

#Sift my #soil – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

Hard ground, unforgiving,
A wasteland, unproductive,
Weeds only growing
Between the rocks,
The stones, I carry in life...

I come to You, broken,
Honest, transparent,
I am shattered, chaotic,
History, weeds to tame,
Shards buried in my ground...

Remove the roots,
Pull out to anger, the pain,
The rocks I carry,
Sift my soil, clean,
Oh, make me ready...

Pull out the weeds
Anything not of heaven,
The lies of the Devil,
Clean me within
To be ready for love...

Open my heart
Make me an empty vessel,
Help me to treasure
Each second with You
On this journey...

one moment at a time #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit #SerenityPrayer

not a year, a lifetime,
not even a day, truly,
trusting God in this moment
one moment at a time...

believing, trusting, fully,
or at least in this moment,
choosing to admit our need,
our need for our loving God...

serenity in this moment
giving these seconds over
choosing to trust God, now,
one moment at a time...

our pieces on the ground, #shattered – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

we must fall before God, broken,
our pride, our desires abandoned,
our pieces on the ground, shattered,
admitting our utter brokenness
confessing our sin, our sinful nature...

we are naked as was Adam,
exposed in the Garden,
our sin ever before us
alone, honest before God...

we are condemned by our choices,
every single sin is a death sentence,
we are shattered vessels of clay
yet we hold God’s Holy Spirit...

we are the image of eternity
the spark of Creation
breathes within us, abiding...
we are saved in our brokenness
we confess our need for grace...

To become well, to receive help,
to change the path of your life...
Reach out, be honest, vulnerable,
admit your brokenness, your failures,
Your inability to fix the damage
chaos that life has brought you
by the choices you have made...
The weights that you carry
are too big a burden on your own
to receive any healing, alone...

Accept help from your brothers...
Reach out, be humble, honest,
tearing the scar tissue off, your secrets,
Your unwillingness to change,
for God above loves you...
Cling to the Spirit within you,
who seeks to guide your steps...
Look to prayer and scripture,
to honest conversation, confession...
God wants to help you become well,
to receive His love, His healing...

We died in the #Garden – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

We died in the Garden
that choice of Adam, of Eve,
to defy God
to eat of the fruit,
forbidden by the Creator,
to give in to temptation,
the lies of Satan,
sacrificing heaven
on the altar of sin...

We died in the Garden
following our parents,
to defy God
our fate tied to the choice
to eat of the fruit,
forbidden by the Creator,
our lives changed forever
baked in the cake
cursed by their sin...

Your inability to fix the damage
the chaos that life has brought you...
The weights that you carry
are too big a burden on your own,

At the end of ourselves – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

Beyond our pain and sorrow
We are so stubborn...
not giving in, trusting in God
at the end of ourselves,
our struggles, our trials,
We hope for healing
that only comes from God...

We must submit, we must trust,
We must lay our brokenness
our whole lives, transparent,
on the altar of God...
God, in His mercy and grace,
will give us wholeness and healing.
God will repair our broken hearts...

Powerless to change – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

We are powerless to change,
to repent, to find healing on our own...
We are transformed only in faith and
through the love of Christ Jesus...

On our own, we are lost,
We are beyond redemption,
Yet, in Christ we have life
We have life in abundance...

We must bring out lives,
our brokenness, our sorrow...
We must lay ourselves
on the altar of God...

Heal us, Lord, God, we pray,
We are utterly broken...
We despair in our pain,
the struggles we carry...

We are powerless to change,
So we come to You, Lord Jesus,
We admit we need You,
There is no other way...

We confess we are broken,
but we trust Your infinite love,
We know You have saved us,
that You are with us now...

Speak across the circle
across the divide, the distance...
Share your journey with others
to get to the other side...

Be open, transparent,
in sharing your own story...
Others will hear their journey
in the words that you share...

There is hope in community,
in freely sharing, in being present...
We are not meant to walk alone
but to share in each other’s burdens...

So, take a risk, be open,
Share freely with others...
Your story is not unique,
It is just part of your journey...

We feel overwhelming joy,
Letting go and trusting God...
When we are silent, attentive,
or bursting into our thoughts,
the word of caution, of conscience,
“Go another way”...
We hear God’s whisper, His power,
the Spirit speaking within us,
to stop, to listen, to turn,
to follow God’s will...

We are convicted, caught off guard,
When we still ourselves and are open
We can receive His guiding...
God calls us to stop, to turn,
to change, to repent,
to confess our brokenness
our need for His love...
God wants to heal us,
to conform our steps,
But God wants us to choose Him
to walk in His light...

We must #Admit – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

We must be courageous
We must be authentic
to begin the process
to begin to heal...

We must admit
We must commit
to be brutally honest
to hold nothing back...

We must confess
We must be transparent
to be changed, to be healed,
to walk with our Father...

We must be real
We must stand in the dock
to defeat Satan’s lies
to defeat our brokenness...

across the divide #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit #share

Speak across the circle
across the divide
Share your journey with others
to get to the other side...

Be open, transparent,
sharing your story
others will hear their path
in the words you share...

There is hope in community,
in freely sharing,
We are not meant to walk alone
but to share in each other’s burdens...

So, take a risk,
Share freely with others
Your story is not unique,
It is just part of your journey...

At the end of ourselves #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #isolation #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit

Beyond our pain and sorrow
not giving in, trusting in God
at the end of ourselves,
our struggles, our trials,
hope for healing
that only comes from God...

We must submit, we must trust,
We must lay our brokenness
on the altar of God...
God, in His mercy,
will give us wholeness and healing.
God will repair our broken hearts...
