Stillness

 




Stillness is an intentional place
Away from the ongoing rat race
Our lives cry out for a change
Quietness at first may feel strange

A quiet spot is a space to be
Letting go, and being free
Life's business dissipates
Consciously release what agitates

Be still and receive revelation new
The Father's heart is for you
His complete nature is to make us whole
To pour out medicine for our mind, body and soul

Be still and release your anxious thoughts
Let go of stress of all sorts
The Father from heaven can be known 
His heart for you, is you know that you're never alone


Be still, there's peace from above
As our Father demonstrates his love
He says you're wonderfully made
This truth will never fade

Be still, In quietness and reflect
Our heavenly Father desires to connect
Whether it is day or night
May you know, You are precious in His sight

Forgiveness

  Forgiveness Forgive and let go is what they say, Can past hurts wait until another day, This turnaround may not be quick, Words and wounds build walls that are thick Just saying I forgive, is so hard, Words don't  work when I'm scarred Try going deeper and process these things And then see what this new journey brings It starts with an intentional thought Changes in me that need to be sought Express your feelings as a start You can even try writing, movement or art Cry out for help to The Father above This will lead to a covering of love Loosen the grip around this hurt Be courageous and do not divert Holding on to hurt with a tight grip Only sees your inner peace slip Unforgiveness can only cause pain The choice to let go is what remains The injustice or hurt can feel so raw But starting to forgive opens a prison door  It’s hard to forgive and stay emotionally sound But don't be mistaken forgiveness can be found I forgive, is not just a word or two But an intentional cho

Breakthrough

Drowning in deep water brought on fear Now anxious thoughts appear I can't break free from these chains  Fear ambushes me again and again Trapped by strong emotions in my mind I'm tied up and walking along blind Fear causes me to be frozen in time Paralysed and fear sticks like grime I cannot break free from this cycle of fear I'm helpless to make it disappear its very real and part of my life Like being cut deeply with a knife I adapt and try to survive But this fear is buried alive It pops up in unexpected ways Hijacks thoughts and effects my days What can I do to escape this state I cannot leave it to fate Who can I turn to, to set me free I cannot see a solution in me The Psalmist writings of old Lays out the message of pure gold Cry for help to The Lord it says He will deliver you from all your fears  The Father above knows all things His perfect peace He will bring The fear will disperse and disappear  You will be set free and be clear Life will be open and be bright

Journeying Together

  Journeying together Walking along together let us see What will happen to you and me Choose to go beyond superficial chatter Open up to what really matters Open up with a friend It can bring a richer blend Trust is at the heart of this trail Let go the thought you may fail Its easy to stick with the status quo But why not learn to go deeper and grow This happens as we share our heart with a friend As they question, encourage and challenge Encourage and provoke with love Don't be timid but give a gentle shove Help them to go beyond the comfort zone Into a new place that is unknown  This unknown place, you may need to  go To Encourage your friend to go steady and slow Our Father above will help them discover He will protect them and provide cover Iron sharpens iron a hebrew quote Meaning love, encourage and provoke Deep connection is better than money True friendship is sweeter than honey
