Letting Go of What You Can't Control

As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend. I brought my broken dreams to God because He was my friend.

But then instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried, "How can you be so slow?" "My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

Let go and let God!

Momma Patty's Pro-Life Poem

I heard a young man praying, asking God for help,
"There's famine, war & evil, the world can't save itself."

God answered him with much disgust, "Yes, I have heard your plea.
I did send back a Savior to bring the world to peace.

I sent skilled hands to feed the world, great minds to stop the wars.
There were hearts as big as oceans to show you Heaven's door.

But, each one that I sent to you, you threw right back at me.
Which ones that you aborted do you think were meant to be?"

~ Patty Pease

Leave it All to God

Life, you cannot ever tempt me with your glamour and your glow.
You are but a pale distraction and I still have far to go.
I have seen your different faces, heard your many tones of voice.
But how I live depends on me because I have a choice.
Life, your arms are cold and empty, and your words do not ring true.
I have found a gentle master who loves me more than you.
I have done with foolish yearnings for things I cannot keep.
No more years of senseless searching, no more crying in my sleep.
I have scars to show my failings and the wrong turns that I took.
Only God did not forsake me, though the very mountains shook.
And when my days are over and all the shadows dim.
I'll close my eyes and take his hand... and leave the rest to him.

It is what it is, but it's also how you choose to see it... I don't understand why people choose to live in a miserable, negative world & stay blind to the power of a positive state of mind in Christ... Thank you Jesus for renewing my mind & making it well within my soul, thank you for giving me peace, joy, comfort & all the good feelings I hold inside despite my circumstances. To the restless, weary souls who are constantly searching for answers/solutions/truth & never finding it... A relationship with Jesus is the answer... "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6 ~ "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 ~ "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27

Our faith & trust in God should keep us in His peace regardless of the world we live in.
