Do you at times feel helpless Like a ship against the tide? You feel the darkened waters Constant crashing 'gainst the side? You're in tumultuous waters You have been tossed to and fro Your thoughts are turning frantic And the tides to strong to row You're out in the great open At the mercy of the sea And suddenly you're feeling All your inadequecies Feeling so awfully helpless Forces out of your control For they are so much bigger Without help, affect your soul There is one force that's greater That is stronger than the rest It is our Lord Almighty For solutions, He's the best When you're feeling tossed about And your future's looking bleak May it be God you call for And the first one that you seek For He's the greatest calmer Greatest peace you'll ever find When our own understanding Leads us in these waters blind He is always there for us We need give control to Him And let the Lord take over When you're just too tired to swim For He is your protector Safely carry you ashore So call on Him and trust Him Let His love for you outpour <*\\\>< Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. |

Yes, I feel lost a lot, but they tell me it's age.  Seriously, your writing carries a great deal of wisdom...the losing battle never includes God. We realize, like Peter, it's our lack of faith that causes us to sink when we've done all we can humanly do. Thank you for sharing this insight. |

Simply beautiful, and reminds me of the sermon I heard yesterday about Paul when he was a prisoner on his way to Rome and the ship was about to wreak and they started throwing the cargo overboard, and things began to get so bad, that they wanted to get in lifeboats but Paul told them Unless they stayed with the ship they couldn't be saved, and this they did and all were saved. Acts 27 a real good comparison to your poem. |

Yes at times I do feel ost at see- turned around and confused, But thank God, these are only brief episodes in my life before the Lord & faith take over. You poem here is very inspirational and encouraging--one that I can relate to. Thank You Rebecca, David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |

Thank you all so very much! I actually was inspired by music today. I heard the first 2 lines in a song, and wrote them down. Then came home and prayed that it could be for the Glory of God. And this is what was produced. So my thanks to God and all you! I'm glad it touched you all like it did. |

Rebecca dear, this was so absolutely beautiful! There are no words I can find to describe how this is so beautiful and how it touched me. So I wont try and find them, I will just say God bless you and be on my way!

Wow Rebecca - This is such a beautifully written piece of inspiration. I'm with Grandma Amy, just can't find the right words. Somehow we're going to have to make up some that will justify this...but for lack of something better.... simply lovely. Bonnie |
