Poems about Faith

I asked God for some patience, And he answered with a date. He gave me some situations, That I was forced to wait. I asked God for love, And he answered with throw.

Let the Holy Spirit Embrace You with Poems of Inspiration

He gave me lots of people, That I could get to know. I received nothing that I wanted, Only that of which I need. My prayers have all been answered, With only a single plead. The Soul's Sincere Desire Poet: James Montgomery Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, unuttered or expressed; the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear the upward glancing of an eye, when none but God is near.

Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, returning from his ways, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, he prays! No prayer is made by man alone the Holy Spirit pleads, and Jesus, on th'eternal throne, for sinners intercedes. O thou, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way; the path of prayer thyself hast trod: Lord, teach us how to pray!

The Meaning of Prayer Poet: Frances McKinnon Morton A breath of prayer in the morning means a day of blessing sure; a breath of prayer in the evening means a night of rest secure; A breath of prayer in our weakness means the clasp of a mighty hand; A breath of prayer when we're lonely means someone to understand; A breath of prayer in our sorrows means comfort and peace and rest; A breath of prayer in our doubtings assures us the Lord knows best; A breath of prayer in rejoicing gives joy and added delight, For they that remember God's goodness go singing far into the night. There's never a year nor a season that prayer may not bless every hour, And never a soul need be helpless when linked with God's infinite power.

Living in the moment, is how you'll feel that pull. Living in the moment, is the best thing you can do. Our days are already numbered, and each moment should be true. The moments of each day, are a special gift to us. And should never be wasted, we should feel very blessed.

Spend your time wisely, and with people whom you care. And at night when you're thankful, just say a little prayer. Living in the moment, is truly a special sight. Take the moments you've been given, and thank God tonight. Disturb Us Sir Frances Drake Disturb us, Lord, when We are too well pleased with ourselves, When our dreams have come true Because we have dreamed too little, When we arrived safely Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when With the abundance of things we possess We have lost our thirst For the waters of life; Having fallen in love with life, We have ceased to dream of eternity And in our efforts to build a new earth, We have allowed our vision Of the new Heaven to dim. Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, To venture on wider seas Where storms will show your mastery; Where losing sight of land, We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back The horizons of our hopes; And to push into the future In strength, courage, hope, and love. Praying The Lord's Prayer Poet: Unknown You cannot say the Lord's Prayer and make one selfish plea, You cannot say the Lord's Prayer and even once say "me," For it's our, our, our, and it's us, us, us And the fourth time it's our, and the fourth time it's us.

You cannot say the Lord's Prayer and even once say "I," You cannot say the Lord's Prayer and once say "my," You cannot pray the Lord's Prayer and pray not for another, For when you ask for daily bread, you must include thy brother. For it's us, us, us, and it's our, our, our, As free from selfish motive as the fragrance of a flower, For others are included in each and every plea, For from beginning to the end it does not once say "me. Browning Unanswered yet the prayer your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years?

Does faith begin to fail? And think you all in vain those falling tears? Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer; You shall have your desire sometime, somewhere. Though years have passed since then, do not despair; The Lord will answer you sometime, somewhere. Nay, do not say ungranted; Perhaps your work is not yet wholly done. The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what he has begun. If you will keep the incense burning there His glory you shall see sometime, somewhere.

Faith cannot be unanswered, Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock; Amid the wildest storms she stands undaunted, Nor quails before the loudest thunder shock. She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer, And cries, "It shall be done" - sometime, somewhere.

The Mission Field Poet: But what of the souls in darkness at home? If they don't hear, they won't heed. This land of ours, so vast and wide, With blessing from shore to shore, Has run afoul of God's great laws And trusts in Him no more. This land, once founded on God's pure Word, Sang praises and walked in the truth, But today the trend has gone far astray, And we mustn't blame only the youth.

Missions and You Poet: You watch the news of foreign fields and shudder at what torture yields. A brutal mess, this can't go on, yet strife prevails from dusk to dawn. Did God not lay upon your heart that you indeed must do your part? A land of plenty and to spare, I wonder, do we really care? I do not worry, Lord, you make it clear. God my light, you are my strength. If it looks that I may fall short, Lord, you add an extra length.

Take this ship, through the storms of life. Make it stronger through all the strife. God my light, let my candle burn. So all can see and live and learn. Lord, never let me hide this flame. So I can be with you in Jesus's name. High Above The Hills Poet: And here below I cannot fly To be with them in azure sky My heart cries out for freedom's way Above the clouds of violent grey To where in tune with skylark's song Dismissed is pain and sufferings wrong With seagull and with gentle dove At one with God In Peace and Love. Joseph Sottile, Author of Picture Poetry on Parade When I doubt God's existence when I believe not in man's humanity when I doubt myself or others I think of seeds recently flung from my hand on bare spots miles from any mountaintop.

Days later I discover blades of grass thousands are there growing and sprouting in my back yard shooting skyward simple blades of grace. Theresa's Prayer May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us. Look around and see, the flowers and the trees In them will appear all that is dear You see, our faith will lead us to that place Where peace will be found and you will find happy sounds Never stop believing, never be scared of dying As God will always be there no matter what your cares.

Will You comfort me when I am in distress? Will You light my darkened path so that I won't go astray, Give directions so that I won't have to guess?

~ Your Bridge to Jesus ~

When I falter on my way, when the ground seems rough and steep, When each footstep that I take seems filled with pain? As my burden grows intense and my joy seems fully gone, Will You give me hope and help me start again? In my lonely hours I cry, "Lord! Please, heed my desperate plight, For my tears are with me every day and night.

If the verdict says, "You're guilty" and the punishment assigned, No one has the power to change things, fate unfolds as life designed. But in silence comes a whisper, soft and gentle yet so strong, Hope, not altogether vanquished, non-existent for so long, Sets a spark, renews an interest, in deep darkness streams a light, A mere flicker, oh, so tiny, daring to disrupt the night.

Poems about Faith - Inspirational Words of Wisdom

Faith can conquer each assailant, sin need not be in control, Earthly sins require payments but there's healing for the soul. Full surrender brings forgiveness, peace engulfs a broken heart, Mercy draws a contrite being; God! How wonderful Thou art! Through the tunnel of great darkness love alone could cast out fear, Christ's redemptive power has conquered, all is well for Christ is near.

Giving me moments when darkness surrounds me, Making the valley a hard place to dwell, Reaching me, teaching me, drawing me closer; I am assured that He does all things well.

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT EMBRACE YOU WITH POEMS OF INSPIRATION

But there are moments when my faith will falter, Times when I think that God's gone astray, Left me, bereft me, deserted and lonely, Feeling a failure day after day. It's in these moments, when all life seems futile, When efforts seem useless and time's standing still; Pondering, squandering, hours without purpose, Endlessly searching to find out God's will. Then in the twilight I find awakening, A fragment of knowledge, deep in my soul, Filling me, thrilling me, God is still present!

I need not worry, He's in full control. I am His masterpiece, still in the making, So many factors are yet incomplete. Tending and blending part of life's fabric, Silently waiting, for God is discreet.

He's not demanding, His patience long lasting, He has forever to will and to do; Never to worry, never to scurry, What God has started, He'll always see through. There was no one who had prepared, this thing was unpredicted, It stormed the shores with mighty waves - no time to be evicted. There was no warning of this act, no mention of foreboding, The thundering crashes of the sea, its fury was unloading.

Whatever obstacle it faced, with violence was assaulted, The roar of power covered all, the crush could not be halted. Screams of terror, shrieks of pain, were never heard or heeded, Everything was swept away - gone! Terror struck the heart of man, the whole world was alerted, News was flashed on TV screens, "The violent storm asserted! People washed out on the waves - gone!

Why was there no one to alert? Be in great haste! Lest death become your master! The scene was worse than gory!

And when the fury was all spent, an eerie silence entered; The silence, deafening as the storm, now in its place had centered. The sky was blue, the sun shone bright, the world seemed calm and placid; The horror that had gone before was like a burning acid! The roaring waves, the sea enraged, had fully spent its power, These lives had taken years to build now gone within the hour.
