Vicky~ Oh, dear friend ... sometimes we just have to stand still long enough for Him to take our burdens. A loving write. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

vl - Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just as you said "listen and pray" - and... hand it all over to Him. Sometimes it seems we just don't want to let go. This is beautiful. Bonnie |

Vicki, This is a wonderful prayer; from questioning to yielding & being submissive to Him. Marcy Psalms 55:22; "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee:" |

Marge- thank you so much, my friend. this was actually inspired by a friend of mine who is going through a difficult time right now, but the more i read it, the more i realized that lately these feelings have applied to me as well. anyway, thanks so much for your friendship. i appreciate you.  Bonnie- yes...sometimes it is extremely hard to let go and let God, but i'm trying. thanks so much for the kind words. Marcy- thanks so much for the kind reply. really glad you enjoyed this. love you all, -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

The helping hand is there, you have to reach out and touch It. |

I know how you are feeling. Sometimes we have to be completely dependent on God. Understanding the "why's?" is not always a prerequisite. I ask your question often, but I have to believe God is in better control than I could ever be. Jeen |

Vicky this is so lovely and one thing that I am learning is that the difficult times we face are just to strengthen us and if we get to that point where we feel we are going to fall that is when "he" steadies us with his hand. It is probably is way of showing us that we have more strength in believing and trusting in "him" than we may know. Lovely verse and the feelings reflect so much of how we all feel from time to time. |

Daniel- thank you so much for the words of encouragement. glad you liked. Jeen- yes...some days it's easier than others to give it all to him...but i know that if i will let him he'll take care of my every need. thank you so much foryour response. Mark- once again, you have put a smile on my face. you always have such kind words when responding to my poems. thank you, my friend. yes, i too have learned that during those most difficult times ...when it seems He is the furthest out of reach...is when He is actually the closest to us...we have only to recognize His presence and let Him take over. (((((((BIG HUGS)))))))  Bob- so glad you enjoyed this one. this actually started off as just the negative point of view, and just kind of changed in mid-stream. i'm glad it did. thanks so much for reading. dg- yes...we do need those trials to make us stronger...and stronger in the Lord. as far as patience goes...you KNOW that isn't always one of my strengths. ...but i do try. thanks so much for reading and for all the encouraging words. your friendship means more to me than you know. glad you enjoyed this one. ((((((((((GREAT BIG HUGS)))))))))) love you much thanks again everybody, -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Vicky, We all feel alone and overburdened at times, we must remember where our help comes from and be humble and submissive to recieve it. Good reminder for me! good poem. Dennis :^) |

This is something we can all relate to. We have to get to that place where we are still and we listen...then we realize that He's there all the time, ready, willing and able! Denise |

Vicky I love the turn around here. It reminds me of that one poem, can't think of the name, or who it was written by... Getting up in the morning with so much to do that we didn't take time to pray, and troubles tumbled around us. The next day we realized, we had so much to do, that we needed to take the time to pray.  <*\\\>< |

VAS- Very true...this is something that many people, including myself at times, often struggle with...and it's such a burden off our shoulders when we stop asking 'why?' and start listening to Him. Thanks for reading.. Rebecca- YES! I know the poem you're referring to, and it is one of my favorites. I wish I could remember the title of it! Thank you so much for the comparison to that...what a wonderful compliment. Aren't our lives just so much easier when we take the time to listen and pray? hugs, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 07-17-2001).] |
