Peaceful Tomorrow

 I had given my heart to the Lord for nearly a year when I started writing my poetry. This specific one was written fairly early in this journey. A lot of the poetry I began with was all about encouragement to continue loving the Lord and why we should. It was also about asking the Lord to show me in my life what needs change. I asked him to search my heart and when I get weary to hold me up. It's taken a long time for me to really grab hold of this concept but it's working. I'm learning very quickly to find rest in the Lord alone. The blessings and grace He has shown me in the past few years have really given me some peaceful tomorrows. Psalm 62:5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone my hope comes from him.

Peaceful Tomorrow

When I feel like giving up

You are the pillar on which I lean

When I sink to depths of disbelief

You are the preserver that keeps me above the reef

Many times I fall but you are there to catch me

You straighten my path then send me on my way

Forever my path is changed

I dare not turn around

I dare not take up the treasures on the earth

Instead I turn to the riches of the Heavens

A much more glorious path I have found

When things get tough

I reach to you

With my head down low

For the forgiveness of my sins that only you know

In hopes you’ll lift me high

And fill me with mercy and grace

Overflow my cup with knowledge

Of your love for me

Show me the way to

Follow and serve you best

Help me to give up that which

Brings me pain and sorrow

so I may bathe in a peaceful tomorrow.
