The end of time is so near In my heart I have no fear Jesus said do not worry about time today Keep your eyes on me and be ready in every way The signs of the end of time I see A reminder to be ready for me November 11, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In praise of God, our anxieties cease to be, A soothing balm for our minds, our souls set free. For in the act of appreciating His grace, We find release from worries that we face. Stress, a heavy burden we often bear, In every aspect of life, it's always there. But when we lift our voices in grateful song, The Father's peace in our hearts is strong. As the psalmist knew, in God we find our place, A refuge where we pour our hearts with grace. The burdens lifted, we gain a vital key, To physical, mental, and spiritual harmony. So let us appreciate God, in reverence and praise, For in His presence, our worries we erase. In that release, we find our souls set free, A profound peace, a gift from the Almighty.

In pastures green, where waters flow, The LORD, my shepherd, makes me know. Beside still waters, my soul restored, Guided on paths, for His name adored. Through shadows deep, no fear I find, With rod and staff, His peace entwined. A table set 'midst foes unkind, Anointing oil, my cup assigned. Goodness and love, my constant guide, In every step, by His side. Through days and nights, through joy and strife, In the LORD's house, I find my life. November 8, 2023 Created by MarkWaldrop
I can't blame my shortcomings on what I don't have Shortcomings come from within and how I behave I can long for things of this world and covet others' possessions Being content and calming my soul should be my mission Quieting my soul and having peace within comes from knowing my maker Not walking with Him, I will have no peace until I meet the undertaker October 7, 2023 MarkWaldrop
God's puzzle seems so bloody at times seeing the underside it seems a crime When time is ore and the puzzle complete The crimson thread will be so sweet The brilliant red we will forever see reminding us of the sacrifices for you and me November 7, 2023 MarkWaldrop
I have hoped for many things in my life Some brought more some less strife Hope is a good thing if what you hope for is good for you It can be equally as bad if it is evil and not true Hope in the Lord will always benefit me and you All Blessings come from God that is so true It is difficult to put my trust in something I can't see Becoming easier over time when I see how he takes care of me November 6, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Am I willing to do whatever it takes Even if it makes my heart break That is a strong statement, I must say A broken heart I would avoid any day Sometimes, I have to go the extra mile Walking and showing a heartfelt smile After doing all I can, they make a mistake My Spirit sinks tears flow my heart breaks November 6, 2023 MarkWaldrop
I seem to always be under a cloud of desperation Everywhere I go, there is always frustration Why is this not true of everyone I ask Is this the way I look at every task Never looking for sunshine or the light of day I seem to focus on all hardships along the way Dear Lord, how can I see a Happier time Stay in My Love where My Light doth shine November 6, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Words without understanding have no meaning To understand, you have to quit dreaming Understanding comes from hearing from others Even being exposed to the experience of brothers Understanding the scriptures comes through the Holy Spirit Not understanding, I only know and believe it Many things I do not seem to understand I can only leave them in The Master’s Hand November 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Motivation is an essential part of the puzzle of life Without motivation, no action causes much strife Motivation moves us closer to something we desire Possessing what we need, there is no motivation required Motivation can be for good or evil Depending on our hearts retrieval Motivating a person to better themselves Will surely pass a blessing on to someone else November 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop
