Life can be scary and filled with confusion,
It is often incredibly hard to come to a conclusion.
Simple matters complicated by the unknown,
I find myself crying out for the right path to be shown.
There are many times I follow a guess down a fiery path,
I may be looking for peace, but often what I find is wrath.
I went left, when I should have went right,
I didn’t know, and it brought me to a fight.
I’m tired of the battles that I never went looking for.
It’s like there is one waiting behind every door.
The world is filled with traps disguised as fun,
Often pulling the trigger just to find out it’s a loaded gun.
I am a mortal being drifting through a fallen world,
Holding on tight so I won’t be grabbed and suddenly hurled.
Through the years I have learned to accept that there is much I cannot control.
The good comes, but the bad will also show up and take its toll.
This may all sound bad, like all is lost,
The ups and downs have certainly had their cost.
But I am thankful for each and every curve,
Every bit of pain that has shot up a nerve.
You see, God uses all these things to teach me to be wise,
When I learn to turn my days over to Him, He becomes my eyes.
He knows what is ahead, and the mistakes I will make.
He is already prepared when I’m ready to break.
The traps my be sprung, and weapons aimed at me may fire,
But His Hand is in front of me, blocking it all as I tire.
All I need to do is have faith in who He is, and be willing to yield,
Allowing Him to do His thing, and become my shield.
I do not have to worry about what shall come tomorrow,
He has plenty of grace that He will gladly let me borrow.
He will guide my steps through the most dangerous places,
Meticulously intervening as my pumping heart races.
I truly have nothing that I need to fear,
Because the condition of my life is under His care.
Just as the birds are fed by His great love,
So He feeds my soul, like a hungry dove.
The truth is not a day goes by that I don’t make a mistake,
Often wishing that I could go back and do a retake.
It often feels painful, but He has never refused me His grace,
Picking me up, dusting me off, and sending me to a better place.
I shall trust Him when life challenges my mind.
I shall trust Him no matter what unexpected peril I find.
He is always ahead of me, so I will keep pushing ahead.
Keeping my faith in Him, and allowing myself to be led.
Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
Matthew 6:33-34 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
