Fatherhood Is God's Idea
- Published: June 2018
Honoring Fatherhood

in Father's Day Poems

Thanks be unto God the Father
for His great work in creating man.
God decided to reproduce Himself,
So He formed man with His hand.

Thanks be unto God the Father
for His great work in creating man.
God decided to reproduce Himself,
So He formed man with His hand.

God crowned man with His glory
and gave him dominion over the earth.
He made man a little lower than the angels
and honored him with great worth.

God endowed man with wisdom
so great things he would be able to do.
He made him in the likeness of Himself
so man could become a father too.

Creating man was God's best work.
He gave him authority and great might
to provide for the needs of his family
and courage to face the darkest night.

We honor God for His creation
and for making man His masterpiece.
He is to be an extension of Christ Jesus
so God's kingdom work will not cease.

So we salute fatherhood everywhere.
It is the highest position in the land.
It's no greater honor than being called dad
and no greater foundation on which to stand.

Silence
- Published: July 2018
Finding God In The Silence

in Prayer Poems

In the stillness of the morning,
while the world was still asleep,
the sun was hidden under cover
and silence was strong and deep.

In the stillness of the morning,
while the world was still asleep,
the sun was hidden under cover
and silence was strong and deep.

I whispered a short prayer
with just a few choice words.
God was there in the silence,
and I knew my prayer was heard.

The restless night had been long,
and uncertainties filled my day.
Nothing calmed my restless heart,
so I knew I needed to pray.

In the silence God drew me close
until on His bosom I did lay,
and there we communed together.
No other word did I need to say.

I felt God's presence around me,
and my worries began to cease.
I gave the Father all my cares,
and He gave me His peace.

Lenora,

That is a beautiful poem.

The Scripture is so true, "Be still and know that I am God."

Trusting God During Difficult Times

in Faith Poems

When my hope fades
and all my dreams die,
and I find no answer
by asking the Lord why,

When my hope fades
and all my dreams die,
and I find no answer
by asking the Lord why,

I just keep on trusting
and hold on to my faith
because our God is just
He makes no mistakes.

When life's storms come
and trials I must face,
when I find no solution
I just rest in God's grace.

When life seems unfair
and more than I can take,
I look up to the Father;
He never makes mistakes.

God knows our struggles,
He sees every bend in the road.
But no mistake is ever made
'cause He weighs every load.

Our Trustworthy God

The Awesomeness Of God

in God Poems

Glory to our loving Lord, who is a
Mighty God and a faithful friend.
His divine love for us is pure and perfect,
and His great mercy knows no end.

Glory to our loving Lord, who is a
Mighty God and a faithful friend.
His divine love for us is pure and perfect,
and His great mercy knows no end.

God comforts those who are troubled,
and to the weak He gives strength.
He fills the empty souls with joy
and makes the anxious hearts content.

Our God binds the broken spirits,
and He will calm all our fears.
God meets us in the valley of weeping,
and with His love, He dries our tears.

Our faithful Lord hears our prayers,
and He sees our hurts and pain.
He shines His light in our darkness
and sends sunshine after the rain.

God is awesome and trustworthy.
He's an amazing God, like no other.
He walks with us through hard times
and sticks closer than any brother.

There's no problem God can't solve,
and there's no need He cannot meet.
God promises to always be with us,
and every promise given, He will keep!

The Providential Care Of God

in God Poems

When night changes into day
we get a chance to start over again.
We can complete the things left undone
and reach back and make amends.

When night changes into day
we get a chance to start over again.
We can complete the things left undone
and reach back and make amends.

God protects us by His power.
We are not here by happenstance
But by a divine connection with God
He upholds us with His hand.

God oversees all that concerns us
keeping watch night and day.
With His all-seeing eyes He leads us.
He orders our steps and direct our way.

God surrounds us with His mercy,
and He covers us with His love.
He speaks peace to our weary souls
as He looks down from up above.

God knows the way that we take,
our lives are in His hand.
And the outcome of every situation
is under His divine command.

God's all-seeing eyes are upon us.
He protects and shelters His own.
We are forever secure in His loving care
and He promises not to leave us alone.

Lenora,

I totally agree with your description above the poem that "we do not have to live in fear and anxiety despite what is going on in the world."

Great poem!
