It used to feel like a battleground at night for me to get some sleep.  I was so fearful; I would say my repetitive prayers over and over till I fell to sleep.  I prayed but I had no real faith or knowledge of the great love of Jesus.  When I began to learn of His faithfulness, and I began to have faith to trust Him, I was able to get a full night sleep.  There is rest to those who trust in God.

Peace and Trust

A truer word is never said,
God watches for His children’s benefit.
There is no greater love than,
God’s love for man.
The ones saved by grace,
Are drawn into a closer embrace.
God does not turn His gaze away,
He plans carefully each and every day.
God provides for every need that comes.
He molds and shaped till His masterpiece is done.
If the redeemed could but see,
They would truly rest in peace.
Their destination is planned with glory untold.
It shines more than silver and is much more lustrous than gold.
The trusting heart will learn valuable lessons in life,
Without the added burden of bitterness and strife;
For if they know their God cares.
And that He is a God that is just and fair.
Evil done to them will not unnoticed go,
For God is a defender of innocent souls.
When you trust because you belong to His Son;
Even more at peace you become.

Psalms 37:37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright:
for the end of that man is peace.

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee

Love spoke into the Darkness

Love spoke into darkness and there was light
Love speaks into your dark place to give new insight
Love spoke into existence the world, the moon and stars
He speaks to your world …He knows where you are
Love from the cross saw the great need of your soul
A special place in His heart you hold
Love gave His life so you can His love speak
He has given His Word to the heart that seeks
Love washes you white as new fallen snow
His shed blood has made the redeemed new and whole
Love speaks encouragement and will lift and edify
Love speaks in so many ways to water the soul parched and dry
Love has a name Jehovah …God that supplies all you need
His name is Jesus that saves the one that believes
His name is Wonderful…. King of Kings
Love speaks into a life and makes it able to His praises sing

Gen 1:2-3
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

I trust the Lord with all my heart, sometimes I do not understand why things happen, but I believe the Word of God. My God is trustworthy.  He is all I need according to His riches in glory. The wise will rest in His care.

Trust Is

Trust, a small word that encompasses much,
As we examine its magnitude just a tip of it we touch.
Trust does not strive to reach its goal.
It is more like a rest that flows.
Trust does not accuse and does not easily turn away.
Trust stands firm and it cannot be swayed
When God requests trust He desires us to believe;
Even in harsh times; no matter how desperate the need.
Trust is not based on perfect knowledge of all things.
It is grounded on the reliability of the Most-high, risen King.
Trust is unable to survive
In the same vessel worry or fear abides.
For worry is the opposite emotion- it testifies distrust.
To truly glorify God, to renounce anxiety is a must.
Trust will expect the best, marching forward without pause.
Trust will rejoice in truth and integrity of God’s laws.
To trust your God and His ability and might
Is the greatest wisdom your soul can delight.

Psalms 9:10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Waves of Comfort

When your heart is hurting come,
Enjoy the holy presence of God’s Son.
The loving touch of the Holy Comforter
Will heal and fix your inner hurts.
When heavily walked upon and joy has fled,
Come allow the Comforter to show you how to forgive.
When confused and you do not know the way to go,
Allow the Word to guide you – so you can in the Spirit flow.
I fill hearts with gladness and mind with truth and power;
And with love in the world’s most troubling hour.
Waves of comfort flow to you and through you to lift and to edify.
Surges of God’s goodness are your eternal supply.
Beauty for the ashes, mourning is by joy replaced,
All are provided by God’s provision of grace.
Waves of God’s mercy flood the land,
Overflowing those who seek to understand.
Great, abundant, heavy showers of love,
Come from the Lord above
Whatever you need and desire that is well and fine,
Will be provided in God’s time.
Come allow the Holy Spirit to touch, 
You in your deepest place, with His waves of love.

2 Thessalonians 2:15-17
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Before I was allowed to marry I needed to take catechism classes.  I desired to find God.  I gained knowledge of all the necessary prayers and was faithful to confess my sins, but I did not yet know God.
After about five years of marriage my hurting heart was ready to call it quits.  My husband was just as needy as I was.  It was at this time I became fully aware of evil; the tormenters began an onslaught within my heart and my mind.
I had a battle to fight, and all I knew was there was a God; and I called upon His protection as I recited my formal prayers.  God is so good.  He saw me, He heard me, and He protected me from the evil ones as He continued to woo me and draw me to Him.

The Protector

Once upon a time not so long ago,
There was one with a yearning in the soul.
Life was a nightmare that never seemed to stop.
Every attempt to please seemed to be a flop.
The tender heart was broken; it seemed everyone turned away,
No matter how much she tried to obey.
The fear of rejection became uppermost in the mind,
So she hardened her heart and discontinued trying.
Even in this sad state when rebellion entered in,
And when her life was toying with sin,
The heart cried out in protest as eyes searched to see
What she yearned for deep within her being.
Over and over the nightmare returned.
She could not receive – love was spurned.
God sees and hears every sigh
He is aware from on high.
He hovered over and planted the seed of hope,
And gave her the ability to cope.
He wooed and called out of death’s wrap.
He saved the soul that was entrapped.
He picked her up and chased away the tormentors – not a few,
And He carried her, His kingdom into.
He asked her to be His bride,
And then He moved inside.
She is happily waiting the day
When He will arrive and take her away.
