Focus

On By Jodi EymanIn PoetryLeave a comment

Worrying about the news

Relationship problems

Financial stress

Personal ambitions

Past or potential pain

Only distracts our minds

From where we should place our aim

This world is temporary

And so are all these things

Instead share His heart

His love and presence

Our only truly valuable gain

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” Matthew 6:25

You Knew

Inside my weakness, struck with flaws

Your power and plan considers them all

Never blind nor deaf, not surprised by defeat

But with a smile and a nudge,

You get me back on my feet

You knew the path, You knew the way

You knew what it would take

to prepare me for this day.

Intentional Surrender

On By Jodi EymanIn PoetryLeave a comment

No obstacles block Your will
The blueprint You carefully devised
Each road we’re led down with intention
No detour is a surprise
What joy there is in surrender
To trust Your answer whether yea or nay
What sweetness there is in knowing
You’ve already paved the way

Don’t Miss the Blessing

May the blessings You place

right in front of me

Not be dimmed by the sorrow

of unmet dreams

Nor disregarded or ignored

because I was searching for another door.

In Your will, there is hope of a future

Apart from my own thoughts or plans

May I not miss Your blessing or calling

Because “No” my heart would not understand.
