Called to Follow

We are called to follow, in Jesus’ loving way,
To show compassion, every single day.
In times of need, let love be our guide,
With open hearts, let mercy abide.

Seek God’s wisdom, in prayer we find,
Guidance for decisions, peace of mind.
Prioritize prayer, in all that we do,
God’s wisdom and grace, will see us through.

Obedient to His call, even when it’s tough,
Stepping out of comfort, when the road is rough.
Sacrifice and faith, in His name we trust,
In God’s perfect plan, we place our trust.

Not alone we walk, this spiritual quest,
In fellowship with others, we are truly blessed.
Different backgrounds, personalities, and strengths,
United in mission, we go to great lengths.

The beauty of diversity, in Christ we see,
Working together, in unity.
Despite our differences, we stand as one,
Spreading His teachings, until the work is done.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
