Let God Guide You
by , (c)2012

Focus on happiness, not discontent
Thank God for the gifts that are heaven sent.

Rather than crying for what we have not
Give thanks for all that you've got.

Count your blessings and then
Share them with others again and again.

Always be kind, loving and true
With others and those dear to you.

Always show patience, don't turn away
It will make life worthwhile tomorrow and today.

Giving helps others you know
But more importantly it helps you to grow.

God gave us the ability to do, not just try
Give thanks rather than cry.

Live your life fully and true
Don't let life get you blue.

As you start your day
Get down on your knees and pray.

Let God guide you In all that you do.

More Thoughts About God: Too Late

Seeds
by Joseph Sottile,
Author of Picture Poetry on Parade

When I doubt
God's existence

when I believe not
in man's humanity

when I doubt
myself or others

I think of seeds
recently flung

from my hand
on bare spots

miles from
any mountaintop.

Days later
I discover

blades of grass
thousands are there

growing and sprouting
in my back yard

shooting skyward
simple blades of grace.


Often times, we get caught up in our busy schedules, or we are so tired at night, we forget to pray, to give thanks, to ask for help, to count our blessings. The verses in this poem are a good reminder to us all.
The Difference
by Author Unknown

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask".

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock".

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.
"Faith is to believe what we do not see,
and the reward of this faith is to see
what we believe."
Augustine

Poetry that reinforces what happens when you accept God. May the words of wisdom in this religious poem give you verses to reflect upon.

Peace
Poet: Henry van Dyke

With eager heart and will on fire,
I strove to win my great desire.
"Peace shall be mine," I said; but life
Grew bitter in the barren strife.

My soul was weary, and my pride
Was wounded deep; to Heaven I cried,
"God grant me peace or I must die";
The dumb stars glittered no reply.

Broken at last, I bowed my head,
Forgetting all myself, and said,
"Whatever comes, His will be done";
And in that moment peace was won.

"To be of a peaceable spirit
brings peace along with it."
Thomas Watson

"I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done."
Hudson Taylor


High Above The Hills
Poet: John McLeod, (c)1981

High above the hills and dales
A white dove soars, a seagull sails
A skylark sings from altitude
Unseen, but heard below where good
And ill so often fight it out
Instilling fear, unrest and doubt
That darkens vision to confuse
So much to gain, so much to lose!

And here below I cannot fly
To be with them in azure sky
My heart cries out for freedom's way
Above the clouds of violent grey
To where in tune with skylark's song
Dismissed is pain and sufferings wrong
With seagull and with gentle dove
At one with God
In Peace and Love.

"God is great, and therefore He will be sought; God is good, therefore He will be found."
