God, Are You There?

I’m way down here!
You’re way up there!
Are You sure You can hear
My faint, faltering prayer?
For I’m so unsure
Of just how to pray—
To tell you the truth, God,
I don’t know what to say. . .
I just know I am lonely
And vaguely disturbed,
Bewildered and restless,
Confused and perturbed. . .
And they tell me that prayer
Helps to quiet the mind
And to unburden the heart
For in stillness we find
A newborn assurance
That Someone does care
And Someone does answer
Each small sincere prayer!

Hope Emerges....through Faith

Nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it
And you have the faith to believe…
Faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God’s wisdom and will
Faith is a mover of mountains,
There’s nothing that God cannot do,
So start out today with faith in your heart
And Climb Until
Your Dream Comes True.
