Shut In

everything
you’ll need

as I shut the door
on yesterday

and draw you close
to Me.

**********

I am okay when doors are closed, for You are with me.

Rich

 

Let us be rich
in good works

ready to give
willing to share

not trusting in
wealth and money

but in our God
and prayer.

I can be rich in good works for You are with me.

Part 2: Trusting In His Name

I asked God about her. About me taking care of her. He says, “She needs someone to count on. She needs activities to count on.” Then He says, “You can count on me and what I give you to do. You shall trust in the name of the Lord.”

You Are Good

 

Oh Lord You are good
and great in power

guiding my feet in the way
they should go

and in the day of
pain and trouble

You are my faithful
stronghold.

**********

You are great in power and You are with me.

“The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.”
