Steadfast and Courageous

In life’s tempests, we find our way, 
Challenges rise, shadows sway. 
Yet God’s hand guides, unwavering and true, 
Calling us to be steadfast, courageous too.

Opposition may roar, fierce and wild, 
But trust His guidance, like a faithful child. 
Our faith, a beacon in the darkest night, 
An unwavering flame, burning bright.

For Christ’s sake, we endure, we bear, 
Suffering molds us, refines with care. 
Rituals, mere echoes without heart’s devotion, 
Authentic worship springs from inner emotion.

Let our souls align with God’s sacred call, 
In quiet moments, surrendering all. 
Timing divine, His promises unfold, 
As we seek authenticity, His story told.
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.
