Will You Trust Him?
Is this sufficient reason:
The One who died for you
Has lovingly ordained it
In what He’d have you do?
Are you content to follow
Because He says it’s best
Though you can’t see the outcome
And know that it’s a test?
Will you be still and trust Him
Because You know His love
And rest upon His promise
That He will lead above?
For He will bless the faithful
Who choose His perfect way
And humbly walk beside Him
In trusting love each day.

Why Get Just Weeds?
Its true that if you plant a crop
Some weeds will grow as well,
But when it comes to harvest time
Your granaries will swell.
Yet if you do not plant at all
You’ll still get weeds that grow.
Life’s problems come, why let them be
The only thing you know?

The Lord Is at Your Side
Throughout life’s winding pathway,
Wherever you may go,
The Lord Himself will guide you
In ways which He will show.
He’ll walk each step beside you
And bear you in His arms,
He’ll guard you and protect you
From all of life’s alarms.
Each day will bring new blessings
With tests He’ll bring you through
To show His care and mercy
With love so deep and true.
He knows your name and loves you,
He is your truest Friend;
And soon He will reward you
With life that cannot end.
So love the Lord completely,
Believe His Word and pray,
And keep your eyes on Jesus
Who’ll keep you day by day.
Today and in the future
I pray He’ll bless and guide,
And help you sense each moment
That He is by your side.

Why Bear the Burden?
When I would bear my burdens
They seems so big for me –
They’re half my size or bigger
And I can hardly see.
But when I cast those burdens
On Jesus, how they shrink
And look so small beside Him!
It really makes me think,
Why should I bear a burden
He wants to bear for me
That’s large for me but easy
For Him who sets me free?

“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalms 55:22
The Prayers I Forget
My Father remembers the prayers I forget,
He isn’t distracted by all that is near;
He waits till the timing is perfectly set,
And then He reminds me, “You asked for this, dear.”
So when I am anxious about a request,
I’ll think how He’s answered the prayers I forgot;
I’ll trust He’ll remember and give me what’s best
Then lay down the worry and fear that I brought
How sweet to consider what love and what care
Are evidenced freely in answers to prayer!
There’s no one so tender with whom to compare
God’s goodness, compassion, and grace – each so rare.
Christina Joy Hommes
The mystery of grace through Christ,
For many years concealed,
Has been laid open, and God’s plan
Has been at last revealed.
One hundred facets are revealed
Each time one is explored;
Each seems more dazzling than the last,
And every time we’re floored.
Though now our eyes are clouded, veiled
We see its lustrous face –
Imagine what eternity
Will show us of His grace.
