These Three Things: Part Two

Three things I have prayed for,
And three things God has now given me a peace about.
Now that I am getting over these three I see two more,
But perhaps there are hundreds,
Even thousands more.
Perhaps there are so many beyond I can’t even see them yet. 
Yes,
There are thousands,
Perhaps millions of things,
Which I will pray God will help me through.

He will guide me through them,
I will make it through or over each hurdle,
I will persevere to get the prize,
Yet I do not do this for myself,
Through the self which God took and made self-less,
Whom He gave new life,
He gave new hope,
That He gave himself to be in an intimate relationship with.

So many things to happen down the road,
Down the path,
Through this race of life…
Many of these things we have no glimpse of,
These we need not to worry about,
But to lay our future at the feet of Him,
Who already controls not only our present but our future.
We lay it down before God,
Because we know in our hearts,
That life is so much sweeter under,
And in the hands of God,
Who is Ultimate Love,
Ultimate Peace,
And Ultimate Hope.

It is only through God will our life be joyful,
Only when we lay our lives,
Our choices,
Our desires,
And wants before Him,
Are we complete through Him,
And His Son,
Jesus Christ?

Only then,
In that humble place,
Will we break through our self,
Let the Holy Spirit take control,
And the Joy of Christ,
Which we have hidden for so long inside,
Will burst forth. 

Only then,
In that place will brokenness,
Will a revival of self,
Our City,
Our State,
Our Country,
And World begin to happen. 

If we would just lay them down,
If we would only lay every aspect of our life,
And thoughts before God then,
And only then will God truly be out God,
Then we will see the hand of God,
As never before in not only our own life,
But see Gods touch on those around us. 

If all is given then all is taken care of,
Who better to take care of every aspect?
And detail of our life,
Then the very one who gave us our life during the beginning. 
Who better than God?
Who better than our Creator?
Who better than the Bringer of ALL Life,
And the Savior of souls?
Who?
I ask Who?

These Three Things: Part One

I feel as if I am in the midst of a battle,
A spiritual battle within myself.
I have come up to three walls,
Three things which God has laid on my heart to do,
To pray about and begin.
These three things I have prayed about,
And have earnestly sought God’s Will in all of them.
God has convicted me of all three,
And is teaching me to be bold,
Not to cower,
But to strive on,
To persevere through the distractions,
In this world that block me,
Even my own flesh,
My own self,
My fear,
Me doubt,
The questions that come up inside of me.
I know that I can only go through,
And do these three things by relying of God,
And nobody else.

I know my home is not this world,
And yet still these three things seem to block my way.

All have to do with my inner man,
All have to do with the old verses new,
The Flesh verses the Spirit.
For God is pounding on my heart to do His Will,
I know precisely what to do,
But my service is diffused or vanishes as soon as life,
As soon as distractions come along.

Why do I not let it all go?
Why do I even care what others think because,
God alone,
You alone matter.
I want,
Need,
And long to let it all go.
I see how far I have come,
And yet I cannot ignore,
These three things before me. 

I cannot see what is on the other side,
And know that I will only find out,
After I conquer these with You help alone. 

My soul grieves for why I keep You in a Box….
For You have placed these three things before me,
I know through the Spirit,
That You alone matter more than anything else. 

I know that if You have placed these before me,
That I needed to follow through,
That I need to keep my mind on You.
That I will speak when speak is needed,
That I am silent when silence is needed. 
That I would seek You,
And seek to follow Your will in All,
In one-hundred percent of my life,
That I would live in Your presence,
Through Your Holy Spirit. 

I pray that I will follow You,
That I would lay these three things down before Your feet…
That I would let so and not care about pleasing another buy You. 
For You alone are King,
You alone are God,
If I do anything,
That does not glorify You,
Then I loose the whole purpose for my life.
Help me,
Help us ALL!
