When my heart wanders …

When my heart wanders,

And ingratitude seems to cloud my mind. 

Help me to  reminisce about the countless breakthroughs.

When my heart forgets the past,

Bring to remembrance every detail of your faithfulness that I may encourage myself.

Not only encourage myself, but be content in the progress I’ve made by your grace.

Take the scales off my heart

That I might see that the victories are greater than my defeat.

Let me be reassured that you’re for and not against me.

When my heart wanders,

Help me never to forget who you are.

In The Quiet …

In the quiet, 

He whispers, Leading the way.

In the stillness,

He murmurs, giving guidance.

In the unknown,

He directs, ordering the righteous along his path.

In the anguish,

He comforts, lightening the burden. 

In the doubts,

He reassures, providing certainty and confidence. 

In the chaos,

He brings peace, calming our hearts 

In the confusion, 

He brings clarity, realigning our thoughts.

In the waiting, 

He orchestrates, bringing to pass each promise he made. (Joshua 21:45)

I Don’t Have to Know!

Sometimes all I wish is a clear picture of my life.

Just like a movie, I wish I could predict each scenario, phase, and outcome.

Thoughts battling in my head and wishing I could just get a glimpse of my future. 

What will happen in the next minute, hours, or days.

I just want to know!

And as I begin to ruminate on my intentions;

I ask myself, why exactly do I want a clear picture of my life?

Why do I want to know the future right in the present?

And I realized, it is my selfish and never-ending wants.

The quest for a perfect life filled with zero mistakes

What fun is this?

What fun is in life with knowing the unknown before it happens? 

Yes, it could do some good; 

However, this teaches me to trust!

Not in my abilities, strengths, and past successes,

But trust in someone and something much greater than myself.

When I know it all, pride may consume me and then I’ll seize to trust in the one who made the universe.

 I start playing god by manipulating my life to fit my desire and not his. 

So I resolved within myself that I just have to trust in the only one who can give me peace in the unknown and give a clear picture of my life. 

I don’t have to know!

However, just like David, I should be confident that “the Lord will work out his plans for my life – for his faithful love, endures forever.” (Psalms 138:8)

In the Midst

In the midst of the clouds,

With darkness overpowering my soul.

I’ve learned to trust

Trust in the one who gives hope

Hope for a future.

A future with no regrets.

A future with peace of everlasting joy.

In the midst of the clouds,

Have learnt to trust my savior.

…

…

Clouds- A state or cause of gloom, suspicion, trouble, or worry.


Most often than we realize, life comes with a lot of clouds. Troubles, moments of darkness, and thunderstorms are sometimes inevitable. Still, amid the clouds that overshadow us, we are pruned to trust not in our strength but in the supernatural power of Christ. He prunes us, refines us through the clouds, and channels our desire to fit his while being rest assured that he works ALL THINGS for our good.

So when the next cloud comes with a mixture of thunderstorms and lightning, be sure that the creator of the universe will brighten your clouds, bringing a supernatural downpour of rain with a lot of clarity.

❤️❤️❤️
