The
Waters Are Rising
by
Barbara Philbrook
The waters
are rising, they are getting deeper every day.
Now we have a new storm on the way.
Places
where there never was any flooding before,
now have the waters coming in under the door.
People are
flustered they aren't sure what to do.
The chances of it going away are few.
The
forecasters are preparing us so well.
Now they have even more bad news to tell.
The winds
are getting faster as they speak.
There may be tornados which can make homes leak.
The towns
are offering sand bags to hold back the water,
but they don't help much according to my daughter.
Some of
our neighbors are walking in water up to their knees.
That our home will remain dry I ask You please.
Worrying
and fretting are what lots of people are starting to do,
but Heavenly Father I am trusting inYou.
I have not
been given a spirit of fear.
I choose instead to trust that You are near.
That no
matter what happens, no matter what appears to be,
that You Dear Father are taking care of me.
All things
work to the good for those called by You,
and so I look forward to the good You will do.
Thank You
Father for all of the faith with which I've been blessed,
and thank You for this sense of peacefulness.
