There are many things I do not know when it comes to God and His ways but each day I am learning. I trust My Lord to lead me to the place where one day I will know everything He desires me to know.

Lord These Things I know

Lord I know You deserve all praise;
I need to show that I’m committed to your ways.
I know that there are things I do not fully understand.
And I know that things do not always go as I’ve planned.
I know that when my heart begins to fear,
That You are still always near.
I know when I begin to grumble and complain,
That in this place I cannot, and must not remain.
I must lift my voice in thanks and praise again,
To allow Your strength to rise up within.
I know that it is all too much for me to bear alone,
And that You help me and that You carry me home.
My great-desire is to do Thy will.
And I know that my needy heart You are willing to fill.
I come in repentance for I know that’s what is needed most,
I also know that in its feat I’ve no room to boast.
Jesus I know by faith soon You come again,
And that I will be with You till the very end.
There’s much I do not know but as I walk ahead in faith,
I know because You are for me, who can fight against?
I know You have a destiny planned for me,
That no circumstance or power can take me from Thee.
I know my heart hungers to do what You ask,
Open my heart’s eyes so I can follow faithfully in Your tracks.

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.  Psalms 41:11

Get Me Back on Track By Brenda Drake

      These are troubling times. There seems to be a great confusion of what is right and what is wrong. Our core values and convictions have been challenged and at times the world’s influences cause us to stray from what we know is right and to almost wink at what we know as sin.  This is when we need to reevaluate our lives.  Perhaps we as a Country are in the position of rethinking and cementing within to agree with God and not the message of the world system.

His way…Ps 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Get Me Back on Track

I present my words and actions to God above
My offered life proves my love.
Lord I need to wise to see,
Where it is I need to be.
When I have been distracted or followed my own path.
I need help to get back on track.
Show me when it is better not to insist I am right;
And when to know when I need to stand up and fight.
Teach me when to pull away from unwanted and unneeded stress,
And to know when to confront an issue is best.
Jesus, you see my heart cry to clear direction know,
I trust it all to You; I know You are in control.
I love you Jesus and I choose to love my brother too.
Jesus, help us to truly love one another as we follow after You.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Proverbs 2:6
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
