Finish Line

The goal is set

Now it’s just a matter of getting to the finish line

It’s a matter of staying focused

While running the course of reaching that goal

But challenges and obstacles get in the way

 

May not have the resources to even enter the race

But God can provide a sponsorship

Matthew 7:7 says ask and it shall be given you

Once you’ve entered the race

You may not have cheerleaders on the sidelines

But stay the course because

…they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31)

 

It’s not so much competing against others

And having something that they don’t

It’s a matter of reaching your own goal

During the course

The race may be more strenuous than thought

The miles seem longer

The pavement seems harder

But stay focused

Proverbs 4:25 says let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee

Look straight ahead, don’t think about past failures

Galatians 6:9 says And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not

 

Because When You get tired God will give you a burst of energy

When You wanna quit, He’ll give you the motivation to keep going

If something gets in your path, He’ll remove it

He’ll help you stay laser focused on the finish line

And at the end you can say I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith ( 2 Timothy 4:7).

 

Direct Line To God

Thank You Lord for giving me a direct line to You
I can converse with You like I’m talking to a friend
I need no one’s permission, I don’t have to meet You in a special place
I don’t need to wear special attire or
Or talk a certain way.
Yet I have a direct line to the biggest mover and shaker
To the richest one on earth

Lord, I love You so much
I marvel how could it be
Someone like You, loves little old me
I can tell You my deepest secrets (well You already know em)
Whatever I tell You, stays with You
I don’t get judged on what bothers me
I didn’t need a reference, referral, or relative
Thanks for hearing and answering my prayers
Scripture Reference:
Exodus 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.

Exam Anxiety

Got exam anxiety
Afraid something not good will be discovered
I’ve been having symptoms that give me reasons for concern
And I also need to replenish some meds
I’m anxious to have exam at all
But I know early detection is better than too late

When Dr says “Now let’s talk about this”
I go uh oh, this the area where the symptoms were
So anxiety goes way up, thinking how am I going to take the news
I look at the X-ray
But can’t interpret what I’m seeing

Every time doctor says “that looks good”
Not only does anxiety decrease, but thank You Jesus increase
Relax, everything is not only in God’s hands, it’s in a His will
Jesus is able to comfort and heal

When doctor says everything looks good
There’s a deep gratitude that comes over me
Thank You Lord for your mercy
Thank You it was no disease
Just from time to time I experience discomforting
Thanks that one more time I’m healthy
And there was no reason for exam anxiety.

Matthew 15:30-31

15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
