Reply to Trust posting
Seems so long ago!
But this is the first space
Open for writing again
I had lost my peace
Caught from another’s anxiety
Both of us concerned
For the one we both love
The Trust poem helped me
Gave me direction
Reminded me of past action
Go to Mary
And of course
She answered
Restored my peace
Trust in You, Lord Jesus
I am not God
How often I need that reminder
You alone can heal hearts
You alone know what’s best
The enemy had been making suggestions
All leading to negative outcomes
I had listened to that voice
Led away from peace
You reminded me of what to do
Helped me be aware of lost peace
Helped identify the source
Re-direct my action
Thank You Lord praise You!
To take note of what happened
Being more sensitive
To interior stirrings
If my mind is more focused
On the problem
Than on You
That’s a big red flag
Time to STOP and Pray!
Over and over
I’m reminded to “act as if”
Do I live what I profess?
Am I consistent with what I believe?
For me the loss of peace
Is a sure sign to stop and pray
To know that all is in Your hands
You’ll let me know if I am to act
So thank You again,
My Lord and my God
I can never be wrong
When I put my trust in You
Bring You my concern
As a broken and sinful person
Living in hope and Joy
Always trusting in Your mercy
