Last night was a turning point for me. I tossed and turned and prayed it seemed no relief would come. Then I prayed, “Lord, I will trust you before, during and after this test!” And just like that God answered, sweet sleep came, and I woke up so much better this morning! God wants us to trust him, NO MATTER WHAT! He’s the one in control! Amen…I pray God’s healing touch over all of you today, in Jesus name, amen! He gave me this to write!
I Will
Into the night of crashing waves, a crescendo of sound rises and falls as electricity lights up the sight.
Tossed on a sea of terror, without help or safety, “Save me from this fright!”
The mind searches for relief,
A hero I can believe in who will rescue and deliver me.
Hours of torment in agony spent, then one prayer, in desperation, is cast into the sea and reaches the heavenlies…
“Abba, I will trust you in this harrowing test, if you save me or I perish~
I take my resolve, as I press on to find in you my perfect rest, the Savior of my soul~
Peace, sweet peace has come!
God, you have won, anguish and terror is overcome, I lay me down in blessedness…
No harm can reach me now!
Not stormy sea, nor fear of death, can touch me in your embrace~
For God has answered, I am set free in your unfailing grace.
One tiny grain of faith, surrendered to your will, help me Jesus to remember
Just, be, still!!
