72) Answered Prayer

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
