Penny in my path
Reminds of God’s provision
Grateful for His care

Provision
I wonder and worry,
But God speaks in many ways.
He often whispers when
I find a penny or dime:
“I will provide for your needs”
Tanka

Based on Philippians 4:19 scripture
Rainbow after the Rain
His bow in the sky
A reminder of God’s promise
A beautiful sight
Seven vivid colors glow
Reflecting His love to us
(See Genesis 9:13-17)

Child of God
As I ride the World’s Roller Coaster,
Each day offers different emotions.
One day I am “King of the Hill”,
The next I find myself at the “Bottom of the Barrel”,
Often I feel like I am “The Man in the Middle”.
But when each day’s ride is over,
I make time to talk with my Father,
And His words bring me comfort.
I find my true identity
In the truth of His words.
I am a Child of the King,
But His Kingdom is not of this world.

Pondering Paths
I was going,
But now, I’m not.
Plans change so quickly.
Another day passes,
As I do mundane tasks.
Time passes slowly.
Days become filled
With work and school.
Minutes fly by.
Sunrises in the East.
Sunsets in the West.
Moments in between are a blur.
Life–a daily gift.
Have I used it well?
Have I shared it with others?
The Lord of days
Watches it all
And ponders…
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21

Heart Cry
My mouth wants to speak
But not a sound will come forth
At a loss for words
My heart cries out in despair
The Creator hears and responds

Happiness
Another day of life
A new opportunity
My daily happiness
Given by the grace of God
I choose to rejoice and be glad

Daily Prayer
This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, in heaven on high,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Lord, protect me I pray.
From all evil that might come nigh.
This daily prayer I do say,
Whether I be at work or play,
I ask that You, my needs supply.
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Teach me what I should say.
Show me Your word to apply.
This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, help me make it through this day.
If my plans go awry,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Help me, my words to weigh,
That You I might glorify.
This daily prayer I do say,
Lead and guide me to Your way.

Freedom In Him
Favored.
Clothed with Grace.
Stand firm in His Armor.
His child, His bride, His warrior.
No fear.
