Trusting Trees

Trusting Trees♥️
(Inspired by Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Lord, make me like the tree that grows
By the streams that ever flow;
That are ever bearing fruit
In their season as they should,
Who never drop a single leaf
All because they trust in Thee.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

God’s Strength

God’s Strength
(Inspired by Isaiah 40:28-31
© 2014 S.D. Harden

God strengthens the weak and weary,
Gives hope to those with faith,
And those who trust in Him will run,
They’ll walk and will not faint.

Those who trust in God will soar
On wings as eagles fly;
Jesus will renew their strength
And lift their spirits high.

Even youths get tired
And those who seem so strong
Will one day stumble in their strength,
They’ll stumble, slip, and fall.

Yet those who trust in Jesus
Will regain their strength;
Though they may slip and stumble
They’ll walk again by faith.

Jesus will renew their souls;
He’ll wash away their sins.
He’ll never disappoint the ones
Who put their hope in Him.

His mercy reaches higher
Than a universe of stars,
Those who wait upon the Lord
Will meet Him in their hearts.

Oh have you never known?
Oh have you never heard?
The Everlasting God, The Lord,
The Creator of all the earth
Never faints or stumbles,
He’s ever strong and wise;
His understanding infinite,
And He never, ever lies.

Our God is ever faithful,
To every promise true,
To all who trust in Jesus
Their souls He will renew.

God strengthens the weak and weary,
Gives hope to those with faith,
He’ll never disappoint the soul
Who trusts in Him and waits.

Dear Heavenly Father, may You help us to humbly trust in Your unlimited strength and not in our own limited resources to meet every challenge we face. Your word says, “It’s not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says The Lord of Hosts…” Thank You for Thy grace to patiently wait on You in faith. We love You, Lord.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God Hears You

20140331-231201.jpg

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Psalm 130:5-6 (NKJV)

God Hears You
© 2014 S.D.Harden

God hears you when you cannot speak,
He hears each whispered cry,
He hears when you in secret weep
He hears each longing sigh.

God hears the silent prayers
That form inside as tears,
He hears the prayers you cannot pray,
God understands and hears.

God is listening to your heart
When you feel all alone,
He’s with you in your darkest hour
A light to lead you home.

God knows every thought you think
Before you say a word,
And though you may not cry to Him
Your voice will still be heard.

For God will hear the silent prayers
Of every broken heart,
He’s close to all who are oppressed,
From them He won’t depart.

Wait upon The Lord, oh wait!
And trust that He is near,
Like watchmen for the morning wait,
Oh trust that God will hear.

Trust that God hears every prayer
And there will come a day
When you will see the answer
To every prayer you prayed.

Wait upon The Lord, oh wait
And trust that He will come,
God is listening to your prayers
And answers every one.

God will hear and answer
According to His will,
His love will give us what is best,
Just wait for God, be still.

It Will All Work Out

It Will All Work Out
© 2014 S.D. Harden

The Lord is on His throne
He knows our every need,
The one who numbers all the stars
Rules over everything.

He hears our every prayer,
He bottles every tear,
He’s close to every broken heart,
He draws them very near.

He says that everything we see,
When all is said and done,
Will all work out for good somehow,
So we must trust His love.

God will make each sorrow,
A blessing we can trace,
In the fabric of our life,
When we see His face.

And we will thank Him for the things,
We now don’t understand;
For everything He gives to us,
Are blessings from His hand.

The Lord is in control,
He knows our every need,
He never will forsake His child,
His love will not deceive.

The Lord is in control,
The Lord is on His throne,
He who numbers all the stars,
Will not forsake His own.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance in Your word that You are in control of all that happens in this world, and that this world is not our final home.
All that we now see is temporary and what we cannot see is eternal. Help us to see with eternal eyes, to know that whatever happens today is not going to really matter to us 100 years from now.
But You and what You think of us and what we did with the gift of our lives on this earth will matter very much to each of us who are reading these words 100 years from now.
Your word says that if we believe Jesus died for our sins, we will live forever with You in eternal paradise.
May you open our eyes to believe Your word, be filled with Your love and live forever with You.
Thank You, Lord, In Jesus’ name, amen.
