A Confused Heart
Hi, friend! Today I’m sharing a poem I wrote a few months ago: A Confused Heart. I wrote this poem when I was experiencing a season of confusion and lack of direction. Similar to David in the psalms, I find that when I put my emotions to words and express those to God, it helps me to process my feelings and turn to God in praise. Please check out my other poems, if you find that Christian poetry is a way that God speaks to your heart. So here goes: A Confused Heart Tangled in a web of emotion My heart drowns in the turbulent ocean Of confusing thoughts and…

Now I Am Free – A Christian Poem

An Anxious Heart – A Christian Poem
Hi mama! Today, I’m sharing a poem based on my experience regarding anxiety and God’s deliverance. This poem focuses on the amazing blessing we experience when we surrender to God’s will and stop striving on our own. Indeed, often anxiety comes about from a focus on self, instead of surrender to God. When we hold on to our will and our abilities, instead of trusting in the Creator of the Universe, who is also our Heavenly Father. So, here goes: Poem I trudge up the hill Bearing my burdens with a groan My heart buckling under the weight Of carrying a load alone The pressure becomes intolerable I relinquish my…
