What Now

Posted on by Marla
What now? Where can I go? Making mistakes, my spirit low…
What now? How can I bear this turbulent storm raging everywhere …?
Spiraling down, down, down, a pit so dark and deep, shadows haunt me on this abandoned street…
Who will save me? Oh, hear my plea….?
Help me God, I have need of thee!
Sinking in the raging sea, while in this storm, a hand I see…lifting me up, He cradles me, and holds me to His chest…
A roar so sweet I can hardly believe; His light is shining here on me…
I raise my eyes to His and see, the Prince of Peace, rescuing me…
“I Am the Prince of Peace, be still and know, you’re safe in loves-flow, it’s here you’ll find your rest.”
Haggard, hopeless and distressed, not seeing how I could ever bless or be blessed…
When in the thick of life’s awful mess…
The Prince of Peace brings nothing less…
Then, hope, love and peacefulness!

Isaiah 9:6 The Passion Translation
The Wonderful One A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominion will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: The Wonderful One! The Extraordinary Strategist! The Mighty God! The Father of Eternity! The Prince of Peace!
This poem is dedicated to my precious granddaughter, Olivia and to all the teenagers struggling to find their way in the world.
You are loved beyond measure and treasured more than you know. The Prince of Peace is with you. Call to him and he will answer! “Peace, be still!”

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
