A POEM TO GOD FOR THANKSGIVING
AND CHRISTMAS TIME
Dear Father God,
Thank you Father for the salvation that You bring,
And this journey we're traveling, with Your praises that we sing.
Thank you for Your guidance on getting through the trials,
When forces come against us as we travel these many miles.
As You lead us from this world, to know Your spiritual dimension,
And Your potter's hands reshaping increases emotional tensions,
We thank You for reminding us that You are always there,
Though Your form cannot be seen in the midst of this earthly air.
Thank you for the trust and belief in who You are,
And for placing within us talents, You've drawn up from afar.
Thank you, Father, for encouraging us to follow as You lead,
When the gardens of our lives start growing briars, thorns, and weeds.
Thank you Father for extending to us the security of Your hand,
When the ground that we've been walking on gives way like shifting sand.
Thank you for the Bible that You've sent to direct our lives,
And for teaching us Your truth, exposing the worldly lies.
Often when I'm troubled , I sense You by my side,
Encouraging and reminding me, I'm preparing to be Your Son's bride.
Knowing all the while that You're concerned and always there,
Allows the worries to slide off of me and the fears to become almost rare.
There cannot be another as truly blessed as I,
Not any on this earth, nor underneath the clear blue sky.
Though at times I do feel frustrated, at times I do feel blue,
But I know You're leading me through these times, for that's one of the
things You do.
For You are my protector, my defender and valiant knight,
And I long to be in Your loving arms, surrounded by Your beautiful light.
Love, Deborah
(Response from the Lord):
So dear child relax, and put your faith and trust
in Me,
For your soul is always in My thoughts, as long as the truth you see.
