A few little words is all it takes,
To again, knock me right off my feet,
Those nagging fears returning once more,
But - I can't give up in defeat.
So here I am, again on my knees,
Pleading for strength to see me through,
Asking for You to help me endure,
Whatever it is I must do.
So many unanswered questions,
So much doubt about what's ahead,
Lord help me to jump this new hurdle,
And stay with me, wherever I'm led.
Please help me to hold on tighter,
To take care of what needs to be done,
I need You every step of the way,
To get this battle won.
I am giving it all up to You Lord,
And "Thy Will Be Done," I know,
I'm here Lord to do whatever I must,
To be where You want me to go.
Funny, just a few little words,
Yet their power sent me to the floor,
But this time I'm calling on You Lord,
Never again will I close that door.

Dear Bonnie; I can't believe it! I 've got a battle right now with my job and boss that are really treatng me unfairly and just today I realized that I'm not letting Jesus fight the battle for me, I keep taking it back. Now I've finally let go. I think it has something to do with always feeling so alone in the past. You are so gifted my friend. Love, Ellie

Amen! This is beautiful! How often we lose sight of Him. Only He can perform in us what needs to be done. This is great!

i know how you feel!  it's amazing how quickly a few little words can bring you down!  isn't it wonderful that God doesn't mind that we have trouble keeping our eyes on him as long as we are trying to trust him and constantly clinging to him!  you have captured the image very well.

A few more little words....I'm with you sister!....He loves you! Let go and Let God!...He shall never leave thee nor forsake thee!...Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, She shall be praised!

We are here for you Bonnie..."Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst."

Another lovely piece,Bonnie.  O Lord let us learn from our mistakes! O Lord be there for us when we need You the most!  Your attitude of full submission and doing what we must, despite facing the difficult, is refreshingly wonderful.  God bless & be with you,     David

One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.
