Distressed? Blessed.

" For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. " ( Jeremiah 29:11, 12 )

~Refuse to be discouraged,
Refuse to be distressed,
~For when we are despondent
Our lives cannot be blessed,
~For doubt and fear and worry
Close the door to faith and prayer,
~For there's no room for blessings
When we're lost in deep despair.
~So remember when you're troubled
With uncertainly and doubt
~It is best to tell our Father
What our fear is all about.
~For unless we seek His guidance
When troubled times arise
~We are bound to make decisions
That are twisted and unwise.
~But when we view our problems
Through the eyes of God above,
~Misfortunes turn to blessings
And hatred turns to love.

I thought I would share this poem and prayer with you all, we must focus on the positive, and tell our Father of our troubles; knowing with Him all things are possible. I send you all my blessings. God Bless you all.
