Fearless Daughter

I am fearless because of the gift of Christ, who conquered sin and defeated death upon the cross. Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." I am a daughter because of Psalm 68:5 "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation."

Home

Wind whistling. There is cold outside
now there is rest inside. Calm listening.
I rush toward a future I don't even know
thinking I can control, leading with desire
rooted in demand.
Lord, I desire warmth, comfort, ease, simplicity.
These are gifts I expect you to give me.
Closed doors mean cold, frustrating anger.
Confusion, chaos, hurt, hunger.
So beautiful these gift, promised in your word to me.
To hurt fasting and praying, hoping, wondering
stir within me a force by grace let it be toward you first
Knowing that you, Father, grant us grace to lead with desire,
rooted in acceptance.
