Gods Greatness And Compassion

Words and Relationships

Got to say something, words bottled up inside me
Can’t get any peace until they are released
Been wrestling for days on what to say
Wrong words can cause relationship strain
But the current situation has to change

So Lord, help me to think about what I say
Before I say what I think
Into me, let your words from Proverbs 21:23 sink
Let my words be constructive and bring positive change
Instead of being offensive and causing a relationship strain

Thank You for the Bible that teaches the power of the tongue
Not only we need to hoose good words, but also a good tone
For even right words can be spoken wrong
Kind words keep the relationship strong.

Reference: Proverbs 21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles

When Will Enough be Enough

When will enough be enough?
Pray every day that this problem will go away
But it seems like it will stay
It plagues me night and day
How much more can I take?

Doesn’t God hear me? Doesn’t He care?
Sure He does
He said He won’t put more on me than I can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13)
He knows when enough is enough
So hang on in there.

Treatment Plan

Went to doctor today
Expected a quick simple visit
But it turned out to be a much longer day
Cause more serious stuff showed on the x-ray
How did my body get this way?
As it never showed the symptoms or pain

The possible treatment plans were discussed
Ranging from simple to difficult
The one needed would depend on the test result
For the simple treatment plan I began to pray
If I needed the difficult plan, how the medical bills I would pay?

The results came back, the treatment wasn’t going to be simple
But neither was it going to be difficult
It’s like I didn’t get what I wanted
But I’m grateful for what I got
It could have been drastic, and I thank God it’s not
That’s why in everything give thanks to God. (1Thessalonians 5:18)
