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

As dark clouds are replaced by light

What joy there is when breakthrough comes

Celebrate with trumpets and drums


A great release from the grip of fear

A new way of life will appear 

Deep water is seen in a different way

As an adventure for a new day

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 c...

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

Choices

Image
I have many options to choose in life They can lead to joy or strife Options appear every day Choices, I make set the way Consequences are profound on what I select The decision I make can have a great affect Following my own wants and desires May not lead to the best that is required As I process it can be a struggle I have many options that I juggle Its my life and I am the boss But this mindset can cause a great loss It can bring an inner turmoil in my head Mental gymnastics, multiple thoughts spread As I tussle with the pros and cons Whether to make the best choice and walk on It's up to me and my choice, Yet a different way has a voice This way is to pause and consider Thinking of others is much bigger In our hearts may love reign As selfish thoughts just drain Choices we make effect everything Thinking of others gives life a spring
