For this Reason

I am adhered to endure,
just because there is a cure.
Having to cry out and shed tears,
just because there are cheers.
Suffering alone in the dark times,
just because there is sunshine.
I wait for a solution to problems,
just because there was His hem.
Praying is seeing what is not there,
just because we have someone care.
Fear tries to bring worry unto me,
just because we can be set free.
Sometimes lacking, living poor,
just because there is an open door.
Might gain everything but no soul,
just because it should be used to console.
We have not for we need to ask,
just because we don't do the task.
There are greater things to receive,
just because we need to believe.
Doing things in His own time frame,
just because we must fan our own flame.
We know what we need to do ourselves,
just because the Book shouldn't be on the shelf.
Equipped with eveything to achieve victory,
just because He promised to write your story.
There is a way for difficulties to cease,
just because He is not so hard to please.

Author notes

I too with my husband's unemployment has me wear and tear here...but when 2009 was approaching I was empowered with the words that I wrote in my writes before this...and I still say there is Recovery...to Endure...to Stand...and you know what you have, now use it... Be Blessed...we shall overcome.

    It seems everyone is falling on hard times now because of the economy. All the more reason to pray. Thank you for sharing your poem with me.

    great work the poem was really touching but to me the rhyming was a bit cheesy on such an emotional topic.
    but still it came from the heart and you showed that

    Powerful....

    Such a piece that brings hope to the weary hearts, for He has overcome the world... On the solid rock you stand, so you can endure the sinking quicksand. I like this, wonderfully expressed. Thanks for sharing, much love and light.

    Peace, Timothy

    Excellent Message!

    Besides this being well-written, I know that God has promised His own that they "will not hunger nor thrist" during these end days. In fact, it is the greedy wealthy who will suffer and we are seeing that as well.

    I really like the way you bring out each thing we can go through, then give God's upbeat response to it: reminds me of "I do not bring these evils upon you, but if you will give them to Me, I will turn them into blessings." So, I always advise that a person who is going through heavy trials, be on the lookout for the blessings: instead of the trials.

    This is a winner! Luv ya, SisBon
