He always works it out
I dont know how He does it
But I know He does
Senryu
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
As I walk through this life
I can change many things
But I can’t change you
I can change my habits
But I can’t change yours
I can control my actions
But can’t control yours
I can do so many things
But only God can change you

Dismal
Rain drizzels down
Overcast and cloudy
This weather matches many’s mood
As they
Try to
Navigate through an unsettled
World of tragic events
Sadly seeming
Unceasing

As we have slowly been moving toward a happier time of things once again starting to open up and get back to normal, enjoying warmer temperatures and a lifting of the virus, we are now in the US facing a time of senseless violence, brutal hatred, tearful sadness and racial rioting.
I am praying for our country and all people today in this sad time of rioting.
These are perilous times for all of us upon the earth as we have faced fires in Australia, a worldwide Virus pandemic and now nationwide racism rioting.
As I awoke to a dramatic weather change this morning going from sunny warm dry 70-80 degree days to a dark cloudy chilly rainy day in the 50’s, I felt the current weather was mimicking the news reports and the rain was God’s tears falling in response to the tragic death of George Floyd.
Therefore, I am praying for peace and goodwill for all peoples on earth.
I pray for a gentle healing rain that will put out the fires of hatred and wash away the prejudices as it brings a time of refreshing and healing to all of us.
May the clouds of dark thoughts disappear to let the light of justice and hope shine upon us, and may we, as people of all colors, find peace in the valley of our hearts.
He offers abundance
To those who will believe
All are welcome

“Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men” Psalm 66:5 AMP
Perfect peace.
Provided by
The One in who created me.
His workmanship, encased by
His love.
Cinquain
This poem is based on Isaiah 26:3. I have prayed that verse many times over myself at night before shutting my eyes to sleep and as I read that verse this morning I wondered for the first time just what the original words for “perfect peace” were. An interlinear word search showed me that both words mean the same, or as we would say “shalom shalom” the highest peace possible. What a blessed way to sleep at night!
Windchimes
Without the wind
Are hanging around
And not fulfilling their creator’s
Purpose
Cinquain
My daughter bought me this beautiful wind chime today as a Mother’s Day gift. I love the look of it as it hangs on my patio, yet it’s real beauty is revealed in the wind as it moves and creates the tinkling sounds it was created to do.
So we, believers, will fulfill the purpose God created us for as we move in the wind of the Holy Spirit.
“The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
John 3:8
I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. John 17:4
Perhaps to the world
You have been deemed
As “Non-Essential”
But in God’s eyes we
Are all “Essential”
We ALL Matter to Him
Syllabic Verse
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Matthew 10: 29-31 NKJV
Hope, Help, Healing
Are in my God’s palm today
He’s reaching forth to
Bring His hope and help worldwide
And healing to the nations
Tanka
As I was praying this morning for my family, friends, fellow believers, myself, and the nations of people worldwide, tears of sorrow came to me as I prayed against this virus which seems to be covering the world.
I asked that the blood of Jesus might come to cover us instead.
I asked that there be a worldwide revival so people might be drawn to God and come to know Him as His hand is not too short to save anyone anywhere.
As I was praying I had a vision of God’s Hand extended. He was holding out His hand and in His Palm were the words Hope, Help, Healing.
This is what He is offering to all of us today, anywhere we are, worldwide.
If you are looking for Hope, Help, or Healing, He is offering it to you.
Take His Hand and receive what you need. He is a good God who will never leave you, nor forsake you in this time of pandemic or anytime.
He will always be near to bring Hope, Help and Healing to your mind, body and soul night or day.
NaPoWriMo Day 4--Prompt: Dream image. ( Well my poem is close to prompt as it was a vision I had, but not actually a dream)
Some words we like
Others not so much
These days it’s true
There’s one word
No one wants to hear
“CoronaVirus”
We can’t stop our ears
From hearing it’s sound
Or close our eyes
To block it from sight
But we can focus
Our minds to not dwell
On this dismal word
We can use prayer
To ask for our God’s help
And for His wisdom
And strength at this time
Syllabic Verse
Praying this word is soon no longer part of our vocabulary.
