Faith Poems

Faith In God Poems

To have faith is to defy logic. It takes faith to think positively. It takes faith to believe that there is a loving God who cares deeply about our pain. To believe in life, the universe, or yourself after numerous failures is to have courage. Faith is an act of courage. It is choosing to get up in the morning and face our fears and believe that God will help us. Faith is choosing to believe that even though we may have failed one hundred times before that we can succeed the next time.

1. Lost In Emotion
- By Josephine Zavala-Florez
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2018
This is about a period in my life when I felt discouraged and frustrated. I was complaining and feeling ungrateful. But after much prayer and being honest with God, these poetic words took form in my heart, and I believe they were inspired by the Holy Spirit. I was comforted and my strength was renewed. Praise God. He is Awesome!

God Is Aware Of Our Circumstances

Sometimes I feel lost in a maze of emotions,
where every direction feels like a dead-end street.
I feel so alone in my search for an answer
that I start to blame God for not meeting my needs.

Sometimes I feel lost in a maze of emotions,
where every direction feels like a dead-end street.
I feel so alone in my search for an answer
that I start to blame God for not meeting my needs.

But God never promised that life would be easy,
for trials will come in different forms.
But He did promise that He would never forsake us
and that we can still have peace in the midst of the storm.

God's love runs deeper than the deepest ocean,
but He is not altered by the moods that we bring.
For every problem, He has a solution.
He is consistently working behind the scenes.

So whenever you feel like you're losing the battle
and you want to just bow your head in defeat,
remember, with God you are always the winner,
for with Him by your side, you will never be beat!

2. My Victory Song
- By Abimbola T. Alabi
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2019
The life of a Christian will seem a little challenging at times, but it comforts me to remember that God's plans are always good and His love endures forever.

Finding Strength In God

God's love sets me free.
This is my victory song.
His grace is sufficient for me.
It is what keeps me strong.

God's love sets me free.
This is my victory song.
His grace is sufficient for me.
It is what keeps me strong.

For I'm no perfect man,
And on my own cannot prevail.
Sometimes doing the best I can,
Even will seem to no avail.

Had my share of heartaches,
Sometimes wondering to what end.
Made my share of mistakes.
Over this, I can't pretend.

The struggles may increase,
But it's no cause for alarm.
God's thoughts to me are of peace,
To nurture and not to harm.

I forge on quite resolved.
God's at work in me for the best.
I am flawed but fiercely loved,
And He is not finished yet.

God's perfect plan for me,
I may not fully understand.
But trusting, obeying, I'm grateful to be,
Handled in His loving hand.

3. A Spiritual Journey
- By Ana Lei Somerville
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2008
I am Wind Walker from the Glamorum Clan.
The journey of self is what this poem is about...from a messed up kid who found my path, to a Shaman.

Journey Of Self-Discovery And Tranquility

Across from the mountains,
A little house sits in the trees.
I'm lost in tranquility
As my soul tries to breathe.

Across from the mountains,
A little house sits in the trees.
I'm lost in tranquility
As my soul tries to breathe.

White clouds moving slowly,
The breeze a calm still.
I'm caught in the moment
As my heart starts to heal.

A piece of me
In the startling blue sky.
As I spread my wings,
My soul starts to fly.

I fly to unknown places,
Where pain and hurt once dwelled.
As the memories flow past me,
My eyes start to swell.

Tear drops drip slowly
Down my cheeks.
The wind wipes them dry
And gives me some peace.

Soaring so free,
Over water and land,
My Spirit Guide gently
Takes me by my hand.

He shows me what was
And what's meant to be
And why my life
Is so important it seems.

A long soar,
Like the eagle high,
I bow my head,
And I start to cry.

Back on the land,
Across from the trees,
I began to realize
What healing means.

It means not to forget,
Let the past flow
Of all the horrors
One soul had to go.

To take the strengths
And apply them to life
Is a valuable lesson
I've learned this flight.

Alone in the sunset,
I watch it go down,
When I finally realize
What peace I have found.

4. Let Go
- By Fourcedow
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2018
I kept hearing God tell me to let go, but I didn't want to. It was way too good for me to let go. I didn't understand why I had to. I knew He had better plans for me, but right at that moment I didn't believe it. I kept holding on, even though it seemed like everyone was trying to bring me down. I was experiencing so much pain and hurt. Let go...and so I did. It hurt, of course, and my heart was shattered. But through those moments, I learned many new lessons, which I put into this poem.

Faith To Let Go Of What Isn't Meant For You

"Let go," He says. "Let go."
But my heart is stubborn, so I do not let go.
"What if it hurts?" I say.
"I know it will hurt," He says.

"Let go," He says. "Let go."
But my heart is stubborn, so I do not let go.
"What if it hurts?" I say.
"I know it will hurt," He says.
"What if I fall?" I say louder.
"I know you will fall," He says.
"But what if I can't get up?
What if I can't go on?
What if my heart breaks into a thousand pieces?"
"It's all right; just let go."
"No. I can't. I want to, but I can't."
"Let go."
"How? My heart will break. It is breaking already."
"So it will break. Let go."
"I can't. It hurts."
"Don't you know, my child?
If you fall, I will pick you up.
If you can't go on, I will carry you.
Don't you know, my child? Don't you know?
It is when it breaks that I can make you whole again.
It is when it breaks that I can pick out these broken pieces that are hurting you.
It is when it breaks that you can truly learn to love.
You can rise again.
You will rise again.
Let go."

5. Rest, My Soul
- By Abimbola T. Alabi
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2019
Sometimes I write to encourage myself in the Lord, and He is always faithful.

Finding Contentment In God

Rest, my soul, in God's love
as you live every day.
Relax in His faithfulness
as you go along your way.

Rest, my soul, in God's love
as you live every day.
Relax in His faithfulness
as you go along your way.

Embrace other's happiness.
Share with those in need.
Seek peace with your neighbors,
both in words and deed.

Take things nice and easy.
Be glad for all you've got;
Not so fast and furious
griping on those you do not.

Fix your attention on God
and not so much on others.
Your times are in His hands;
that is all that matters.

Note to self, oh my soul:
As you do the best you can,
learn not to get upset
when things don't go according to plan.

Relax in God's goodness.
You know His ways are sublime.
He is never in a hurry
but is always on time.

6. Just Like A Child
- By Abimbola T. Alabi
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2018
When I look at little kids, I remember what the Lord Jesus said about them. There are so many lessons to learn from a little child.

Lessons Learned From Little Children

How I wish to trust
In life, no questions asked,
Hanging on God's words,
Confident and relaxed,

How I wish to trust
In life, no questions asked,
Hanging on God's words,
Confident and relaxed,
Just like a child.

How I long for conscience
As mild as the breeze,
Having goodwill with others
And always at peace,
Just like a child.

How I long for courage
That laughs at fear,
Knowing I'd surely be caught
When tossed in the air,
Just like a child.

How I wish to take
Life's journey with ease,
Jolly through thick and thin,
As cool as you please,
Just like a child.

How I need this grace,
So dear Lord, to you I come.
Help me to believe
And receive your kingdom,
Just like a child.

7. Til Now
- By Carol A. Andrews
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2020
In the midst of our own battles -- perhaps health, financial, relationship struggles -- we would do well to take stock of the Lord's blessings in our lives over the years. In doing so, we can find great encouragement and optimism.

You Are Never Alone

I stand in a stream of madness
And take a moment to still my fears.
In the aisles of dreams and sadness,
You were there throughout the years.

I stand in a stream of madness
And take a moment to still my fears.
In the aisles of dreams and sadness,
You were there throughout the years.

Like branches green above me,
Your loving kindness gently spread.
On pillars strong, your faithfulness
And mercy shades my head.

Through times of trial and sickness
And times of great despair,
Though times of joyous rapture,
I see your handwork there.

By day your love is with me.
At night I hear your song.
Tender mercy and Your kindness,
My companions all day long.

When I turn and look before me
At the avenue ahead,
The birds sing in their branches -
Their feathered rainbows spread.

And yet there's still a distance,
For my journey's not yet done.
More joy, more trials and triumphs,
More battles to be won.

When the storm clouds gather 'round me,
To find my way, I know not how,
But thus far, the Lord has helped me,
And He won't quit now.

8. The Shepherd Slept
- By Beryl L Edmonds
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2018
I know how it feels to be lost at sea, to feel unloved, unwanted, and drowning in misery. There's no one to blame; it was my own anxiety and despair until I realised there was help out there. That help came from the Lord, my shepherd. I'm completely certain I heard Him speak to me, and suddenly everything fell into place.

Needing The Lord

There was a shepherd who fell fast asleep
So there was no one to see to his sheep.
The sheep were delighted, freedom at last
Followed the leader and ran away fast.

There was a shepherd who fell fast asleep
So there was no one to see to his sheep.
The sheep were delighted, freedom at last
Followed the leader and ran away fast.

All was hunky dory; they had a ball,
Walking for miles over fields, hills, moors.
Then came the sunset and the night grew dim.
They began to feel that freedom was grim.

They grew hungry and went in search of food -
Couldn't find forage and became subdued.
It was hard to lie down and get their sleep,
As they were pursued by some ghastly beasts.

So tired and weary they wished to be
Back in the flock and the hand of safety.
They realised they needed their shepherd's care,
For love, food and shelter that's always there.

When the sheep had almost lost every hope,
A familiar face came over the slopes.
It was their shepherd and all ran with glee
To show they were glad to see him, truly.

They vowed they'd never run away again
And prayed in thanks for the shepherd God sent.

Amen!

9. God's Flight
- By Heather Flood
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2012
I sat down to write something for two friends who were both experiencing some difficulties in their lives. I wanted to let them know that they were not alone with their problems, that I was and would always be there for them. This is what flowed from my pen.

Overcoming Fear To Soar To New Heights

On the ground sits a bird
That's too afraid to fly.
Beautiful wings could make it soar,
But the pain of past failure is its lonesome cry.

On the ground sits a bird
That's too afraid to fly.
Beautiful wings could make it soar,
But the pain of past failure is its lonesome cry.

God has said unto this bird,
"Trust and have faith in me,
for I will carry you in your flight.
The miracle of life is waiting for you to see."

The bird said to God, "But I can't fly.
I am weak. I will fall and feel pain.
It's happened before when I tried to fly.
I'm afraid of being hurt again."

His voice soft and reassuring, God said to the bird,
"I created you, and I will protect you.
Your lonesome cry I have heard.
Have faith in me. That's all you need to do.

So, stand up, bird, and spread your wings.
The wings I lovingly created to let you fly.
If you fall I'll pick you up,
And lift you back into the sky."

With trembling legs and unsure wings,
The bird finally looked to the sky.
It took a deep breath and took the chance.
The bird began to fly.

"Thank you, God, for believing in me.
Thank you for giving me wings.
Thank you for your protecting hands.
Your glory I will now sing."

God smiled unto the bird
In its majestic flight.
"Little bird, I'll always be with you,
And will protect you with all my might.

You may stumble. You may fall.
That doesn't mean that I don't care.
I will watch over you in case you need help,
And then I'll be right there."

The little bird, once so scared,
Learned to soar to new heights.
The occasional fall no longer scared the bird,
Choosing to have faith in God's flight.

10. Just Between You And Me, Lord
- By Alora M. Knight
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2019
With the turmoil that the world is in today, you always hear of the misunderstandings that are often the cause. I can't help but wonder what the world would be like if all people followed Christian principles. I read once that there were 231 different religions, each one thinking theirs was the right one. It has been that way for centuries, and I fear for the future. Sometimes I'm glad I'm 98.

Discussion With God About How To Live

Just between you and me, Lord, I'd like to say
It's not always easy to follow Your way.
I understand what you mean by the Golden Rule--
To create a good life, there is no better tool.

Just between you and me, Lord, I'd like to say
It's not always easy to follow Your way.
I understand what you mean by the Golden Rule--
To create a good life, there is no better tool.

Still, what if you've been taught to look down on others?
Do we want to believe that we are all sisters and brothers?
It's hard not to resent the neighbor next door
Who does so little work, yet has so much more.

There are so many tragedies that happen worldwide.
It brings much unhappiness - that can't be denied.
I sit here complaining when I know it is true
That all of those troubles were not caused by you.

Yes, it just seems to me, if I remember it right,
You did give instructions that could shed lots of light
On the way life could be if Your rules were obeyed.
What a wonderful world it could be if all prayed.

I'm glad of the chance to discuss this with You.
I'll try not to forget what I know I should do.
You gave me free will, so it's now plain to see
I will need Your help often, just between You and me.

11. A Daughter's Blessing
- By Martha Anderson
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2013
This poem is a profession of faith for my daughter. There is a very wise verse in the Bible that says that we should "speak those things that are not as though they were." For what we speak about our children is what will come to pass, whether our words are positive or negative. Our faith words can cause great things to happen... God Bless

From Mother To Daughter

Today is the beginning
Of God's perfect plan anew
And from here you'll grow and nurture
All the gifts inside of you

Today is the beginning
Of God's perfect plan anew
And from here you'll grow and nurture
All the gifts inside of you

Created for God's glory
You've been blessed from up above
Endowed with grace and beauty
As a symbol of His love

You will walk in paths of honor
And you'll speak at wisdom's gate
You'll be known among the noble
Of all women small and great

You will see through eyes of faith
When the storms of life rage strong
You will stand upon God's promise
And find peace to carry on

You will listen with your heart
And be swift to hear the good
With a kind and gentle spirit
You'll treat others as you should

And as your mother, I'm very proud
Of what you will become
Inside my heart you hold a place
Reserved for only one

12. Outside The Door
- By Katie M. Elliott
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2017
I am going through a dark phase of my life where nothing makes sense. I feel far away from God and people. I want to know God more, but He feels distant. The promises He has given me just make me feel frustrated because none seem true. My faith feels like it is dying, but I know my feelings do not dictate reality. This poem is meant to describe my feelings, not what is actually true. The truth is God is good and faithful, but this poem was written simply to express my hurt.

Poem About Feeling Distant From God

How am I supposed to trust You
When You feel so far away?
How can I grow closer to You
When it is here I am forced to stay?

How am I supposed to trust You
When You feel so far away?
How can I grow closer to You
When it is here I am forced to stay?

You gave me so many promises,
And none of them have come true.
I am still knocking on the door
And asking and seeking for You.

I thought it was Your desire
To fill me with living water,
Yet I am still stuck in the mire
And thirsting for You, my Father.

It has been a whole year, Lord,
And I still cannot hear Your Word.
I have this terrible growing fear
That You will leave me here.

God, my faith is so, so thin.
My spirit is completely dry.
I don't know how all this fits in,
And I don't understand the reason why.

I hate feeling separated from You
And this frustration in my heart.
I do not know what to do
Or where to even start.

Is all my seeking in vain?
Am I too confused to find You?
The only thing I find is pain
And confusion over what I should do.

"Ask and you will receive," You said.
"Seek and you will find."
Lord, all I want is You, my Friend,
And peace within my mind.

My hand is sore from knocking
And my voice from pleading at the door.
My entire world is rocking,
And yet You continue to ignore.

Frustration is all I feel inside,
And I'm losing sight of You.
I want Your guidance in my life.
Please tell me what I should do.

Lord, I am tired. Don't You care?
I am ready to just give up.
This searching is more than I can bear.
All of this is just too much.

I cannot take a single step
Without You guiding me.
I have no idea what to do next.
Oh God, please do not leave!

14. Mistaken
- By Ella Phillips
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2018
I live in a world surrounded with people treating each other differently for the color of their skin or what gender they are attached to or what they believe in. I believe we are all equal, that we are all human. Nobody should be deemed different just because they aren't part of the norm.

God Sees Us All The Same

There's a girl crying alone in her room,
Wishing she could disappear from this cursed earth.
Dragging a razor blade across her scarred wrist,
She fails to see how much she is worth.

There's a girl crying alone in her room,
Wishing she could disappear from this cursed earth.
Dragging a razor blade across her scarred wrist,
She fails to see how much she is worth.

There's a boy that dreams each night,
Hoping to muster the courage to talk to his crush.
He's too afraid of all the judging and name calling to approach him,
But those people lack to remember he's human just as much.

There's a man driving home from work,
Praying his wife hasn't discovered his lies.
Covering up that one night he made a mistake,
He has forgotten we all live under the same sky.

There's a woman sitting in a bar,
Thinking of all the times she's been there before.
She's wondering if she'll ever be truly loved by someone,
But what she doesn't realize is she's worth so much more.

There's a God watching over all of them,
Watching them with unconditional love and pride.
Waiting with open arms to welcome them home,
He's hoping they find they are loved for what's inside.

16. Time, If I Had
- By Danny Blackburn
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2008
Devotion: it is not an emotion; it is giving something from yourself to the ones you love each day. When I met my wife, I was just 15 years of age. I had all my life in front of me and never realized how fast it would slip away. Now I am 48 years of age with more life behind me than in front of me to live. I now realize how important each day is. I truly pray for all who are in love that you realize how fast life will move, realize what you put off until tomorrow could be lost in the past.

Time, if I had all the time in the world I would have absolutely nothing.
It is not time itself that makes your life worth something.

In the time that I have, I will be kinder, gentler, and more giving.

Time, if I had all the time in the world I would have absolutely nothing.
It is not time itself that makes your life worth something.

In the time that I have, I will be kinder, gentler, and more giving.
I will take advantage of all the time I have to show more joy; I will be living.

I will take the time that I have to listen more intently.
I will respond and speak more wisely and more softly.

In the time that I have I will share it with those whom I love,
Because I have no idea how much time I have; that is up to God above.

In the time that I have I will devote myself to God through Christ.
I will respect the word of God because without him I have no life.

In the time that I have I will love and honor my wife in all that I do.
I do this out of love, a devoted and never ending love for you.

In the time that I have I will share a passion for a blessed and positive life.
I will make the time to share my love with my one greatest blessing, my beautiful wife.

In the time that we have together I will lift you up in spirit. and to God I will pray
That you have health, kindness, and love as part of your blessing each and every day.

Time is no longer my friend, and I know that is true.
My wife, that is why I want to devote all my time to loving you.

17. God Is Still Right There
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 4, 2021
No matter our situation or circumstance. Whether we are walking atop hope, full of peace, wrestling with fear, or overwhelmed with life in general...God is always present. In our victory and turmoil His concern and love for us never waivers. And through all my weeping, these roads paved with tears and joy, God has never failed me. Or forgotten me.

our weeping may only endure
for the night, but
even when joy finally drapes
our sunrise

our weeping may only endure
for the night, but
even when joy finally drapes
our sunrise

God is still right there
tenderly walking us through
every whispered prayer

18. The Chrysalis
- By Alora M. Knight
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2017
At 95, I can look back on many occasions and realize their purpose. I've tried to write poems that would make readers think about what they have done and what they can do to make this world a better place. Humor is needed. Kindness and understanding are so important. Of course, faith is the essential need. I am pleased when I get responses from far away places from people who enjoyed the poems.

Learning To Forgive

We are never finished products,
No matter how long we live.
There's always something we can add,
Like learning to forgive.

We are never finished products,
No matter how long we live.
There's always something we can add,
Like learning to forgive.

It isn't all that easy
To release a long held grudge.
For years it's been a part of us.
It doesn't want to budge.

I often wonder if that is why
Some of us live so long
In what seems needless suffering.
Is there still need to right a wrong?

Perhaps we're given extra time
To clear our hearts and mind
Of many thoughts so negative
That peace is hard to find.

Forgiving past offenders
For the harm they did to you
Opens up a channel that
Will let His love come through.

Like a butterfly lies dormant,
Awaiting to expand,
So waits love's own perfection
In the chrysalis of man.

19. Tomorrow's Unrevealed Blessings
- By Louvenia Duncan
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2017
God sends many blessings our way to keep us going. You cannot judge tomorrow by today. Tomorrow holds blessings that you don't know about. God loves us and He wants us to be encouraged. Although today may not be your best day, you don't know what tomorrow holds. Today may seem dark and dreary, but tomorrow holds many good things that you can't see today. Never give up on tomorrow and never give up on God. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning!

Having Faith That Tomorrow Will Be Better

Although you can't see your way today,
Tomorrow holds unrevealed blessings

That you don't know about.

Although you can't see your way today,
Tomorrow holds unrevealed blessings

That you don't know about.
So does the next day and the next.

Never judge the situation by the appearance
But by the Creator, who has your best interest at heart.

God knows where you are in life.
He knew it before the foundation of the world,

And He has already made a way for you to survive
What you are going through right now.

Just believe.
Do what you can and let him do the rest.

Relax and stop worrying.
God is still in control.

And he is working it out for you.
Tomorrow holds unrevealed blessings that are

About to unfold in your life.
You will see.

20. The Hope Downstream
- By John Raines
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2016
My name is John Raines and I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict with a little over 16 years of continuous sobriety. I wrote this poem a few days ago while experiencing a spiritual low. Writing the poem helped lift me out of the funk I was in and refocus my attention on God.

Hopeful Poem For Dark Times

Travelers in the Sea of Life,
being guided by worry and strife,
floating rudderless toward desperate straights,
drifting aimlessly towards whatever awaits,

Travelers in the Sea of Life,
being guided by worry and strife,
floating rudderless toward desperate straights,
drifting aimlessly towards whatever awaits,
are tossed about on stormy waves,
awaiting departure to bottomless graves.

Oh, if only we could leave this ship
and loosen the chains and its horrible grip
of the burdens and sorrows that come with our plight
that's as deep as the ocean and dark as the night.
Who, if any, can save us now?
What can take hold on this vessel and turn its bow?

I hear the waves crashing from side to side,
no place to run to, nowhere to hide
from the fate that lies before us and the turbulent wake behind.
These conditions are causing me to lose my mind.
I hear my heart pounding like an orchestra's drum;
my fears have a power I can't escape from.

Lost, tossed, battered, and beaten,
I lowered my head and prayed for a beacon,
a small light in the night, something to guide this floundering wreck
towards calmer seas, dry land or a speck
of hope in a place where hardly is found
a glimmer of peace, only happiness drowned.

But wait! Can it be?
Is that the lamp of a lighthouse I see,
flickering dimly on this churning water?
Could we actually break free from certain slaughter?
I looked closely at the dim lit light
shining like a small diamond in this hellish night.

I had almost given up without a fight,
given in to the fears of the troubles that might
take away my peace and end my life
cut apart my soul as though with a knife
and bury my hope in darkness and doubt,
sending me into a spiraling spiritual blackout.

Lord, help me remember when all seems lost,
when my ship is battered, shattered, and tossed,
to look for a Light in the stormy sea
and hold tightly to whatever it might be
in the distance, as small as it may seem
and never let go of the hope downstream.

1. Lost In Emotion

2. My Victory Song

The life of a Christian will seem a little challenging at times, but it comforts me to remember that God's plans are always good and His love endures forever.

3. A Spiritual Journey

I am Wind Walker from the Glamorum Clan. The journey of self is what this poem is about...from a messed up kid who found my path, to a Shaman.

4. Let Go

5. Rest, My Soul

Sometimes I write to encourage myself in the Lord, and He is always faithful.

6. Just Like A Child

When I look at little kids, I remember what the Lord Jesus said about them. There are so many lessons to learn from a little child.

7. Til Now

In the midst of our own battles -- perhaps health, financial, relationship struggles -- we would do well to take stock of the Lord's blessings in our lives over the years. In doing so, we can find great encouragement and optimism.

8. The Shepherd Slept

9. God's Flight

I sat down to write something for two friends who were both experiencing some difficulties in their lives. I wanted to let them know that they were not alone with their problems, that I was and would always be there for them. This is what flowed from my pen.

10. Just Between You And Me, Lord

11. A Daughter's Blessing

12. Outside The Door

13. Take My Hand And Never Let Go

14. Mistaken

I live in a world surrounded with people treating each other differently for the color of their skin or what gender they are attached to or what they believe in. I believe we are all equal, that we are all human. Nobody should be deemed different just because they aren't part of the norm.

15. I Believe In Myself

I wrote this poem because when I tell people what I want to do with my life some people try to discourage me. At first I let it bother me, but now I realize that you can't let petty people discourage you.
