Double Tervillazanelle - Help Me Through Again

 






Help Me Through, Again

 

Ialways find myself seeking You
As in t he world I sometimes find no peace
You give me rest, nothing else helps me through

Material things, how brief the new
As the excitement of new soon does cease
Once again I find myself seeking You

When temporary money does renew
Giving my state of being a false increase
Please give me rest, nothing else helps me through

I seek what this world has to offer
Only to be rejected deep in my soul
Then You give me hope in a counteroffer

You touch my soul in making me whole
When I search for peace this world to obtain
Because You made it clear that is Your goal

No matter to what in this world I gain
I always find myself seeking You
As money and material only brings strain
You give me rest, nothing else helps me through
 
In this world my soul hard to maintain
Seeking for anything to fill a void
I call on You to help me through, again

With drugs and alcoholic I try to refrain
For to this I know joy will not last
In this world where hard my soul to maintain

Please give me strength to this to refrain
As time escapes to this in a daze so fast
I call on You to help me through, again

Although I look and seek the world over
There's nothing, nor no one to my soul appease
Never is my desire appeased soever

With You Lord, my heart and soul agrees
To the desires of this world my soul dies
As only You can to my heart please

Perhaps to here my being need not compromise
In this world where hard my soul to maintain
But knowing with You peace applies
I call on You to help me through, again

Thoughts: I noticed no matter what I do I am never at peace unless I am seeking the Lord; believe me I've tried. I've tried a few things throughout my life and have noticed the closer I get to the Lord, the less things of this world gives me peace and/or rest. I've gone on a shopping spree only to be temporary pleased and as soon as the newness wears off, there I am back at point one of trying to find something to appease me. Yes, I have tried drugs, in my lifetime, only to be wanting more and never satisfied. Money, the root of all evil, I learned to live without and know no amount of money will give me the peace and happiness the Lord can give me. Alcohol, besides the fact I can no longer tolerate it's affect, it too is temporary. Although, in this world of human life we find our highest fulfillment in the love of man and woman, in our spiritual life it's the love of God for His people and Christ for His church, where our soul's highest fulfillment is achieved. To a certain extent I can relate to King Solomon in his search for happiness, only to discover happiness is with God; as well as, peace and rest. As I continuously seek fulfillment here in this world, I know it's with the Lord it will be achieved and with Him I will get through, yet another unfulfilled desire this world has to offer.

Happy Valentine, Love of my heart!

  “For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:14-19.

Holy Spirit- Acrostic Poem

"But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him." (1John 2:27. NKJV) "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13. NKJV). "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." (John 14:26. NKJV).

Two poems preview for "Growing Strong in The Lord - part one"

  Here two more preview poems from my Growing Strong in The Lord Collection. These are from where I left off in my Part One previews. I will be mostly posting preview poems, as promised, from my published books. Rarely will you see a new poem here on this site. These two poems from my Growing Strong in The Lord- Part One, "I Am Sowed By God's Words" , came out of knowing God was with me during an impact with my car and a full grown and huge doe deer. I listed these two poems just days apart, as I still felt the grace God delivered me that fateful day; reminding me of His grace and presence throughout my life.  It's Not Luck, But Grace ⭐ When one is thrown a curve ball Like something unexpected takes place That can bring an unforeseen pitfall One holds tight and does brace As one calls on the Lord above all He then sees you through this place In the aftermath you then recall The Lord got you through, you embrace For He can, no matter how big or small And then you rea
