When we don’t understand,Trust His plan.When life doesn’t make sense,Trust His ways. When things often confuse,Trust His care.When the answers don’t come,Trust His grace. When the myst’ries are there,Say a prayer.When bewilderment nods,Overcome. When complexities scheme,Know He’s there.When we can’t trust in man,Rest in God. For, we may never knowWhat’s in store,Or how God’s working … Continue reading Give it a Rest

Walking with him day by day,Read His Words, and kneel and pray,Listening to Him as He speaks,Growing in Him by the weeks. Comfort He brings to our hearts,When our loved ones do depart,When we … Continue reading By God’s Grace
Where He Leads Me
