My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

Thorn 2

Abba...I keep trying not to be afraid to 'walk in the Spirit'...to ask You what do You want me to say / 
do because I might fail to perform / 'get it wrong' but it's always there and I can't seem to shake it...
it's like it's hanging over me...a 'vain dread / anxious imagination'...why don't You take it away? Why
do I have to continuously deal with these feelings?

ST  PAUL ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND I GAVE HIM THE SAME ANSWER AS I AM 
GIVING YOU...GRACE...MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU...FOCUS ON GRACE - THE
SOLUTION - NOT THE PROBLEM - YOUR FEELINGS / FEARS...

So, how do I do that when my feelings are so intense? When I don't want to / resist doing the exact
thing that is causing me to fear?

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE...SEEK...FIND...KNOCK...IT SHALL BE OPENED FOR YOU...

That simple eh?

NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS BUT...YES...GRACE...I AM TEACHING YOU TO DEPEND
ON ME...NOT YOURSELF AS YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED...IT IS MY SPIRIT THAT OVERCOMES...LEADS...EMPOWERS...SO REJOICE IN MY GRACE...IN MY WAYS THAT 
CHALLENGE YOU...THAT ARE TRANSFORMING YOU INTO MY HUMBLE SERVENT...YES IT WILL COST YOU - IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW...BUT YOU SHALL GLORIFY ME BY YOUR OBEDIENCE AND COOPERATION WITH MY GRACE...TRUST IN MY FAITHFUL LOVE...I HAVE NOT SPARED ANYTHING TO RESCUE MY PEOPLE...YOU...
WILL I NOW HOLD BACK WHEN I GAVE MY BELOVED SON FOR YOU?  ASK FOR ALL THE GRACES YOU NEED - TO TRUST..HAVE CONDIDENCE...LOVE...HOPE...FAITH...MY WORD...HEALING...PEACE...AGAIN...MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU FOR MY
POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS...TRUST IN MY LOVE...IN MY GRACE...IT IS ALL YOU NEED...I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU...I AM YOURS AND YOU ANRE MINE...BE AT PEACE...REST IN MY PRESENCE...

Yes, Abba Father...I give all my fears to you...my weaknesses to You...I do need your Grace...
Your Spirit...Your Son...Save me Jesus...have mercy on me a sinner...help me to keep my 
eyes on You - not myself...to abide in Your Presence...
