SPEAKING LIFE

~ Patricia Fagan ~ Leave a comment

final1

Before a word is uttered on my tongue,

Help me lord to overcome,

 Let me think before I speak,

when speaking life to those I meet,

I am truly sorry for the words I’ve said

In anger to others

Who needs to be led,

Help me know what to say

when my words go astray

and indignation comes my way,

Teach me your truth,

While I read your good book,

I will continue to take a closer look.

I’ll stand in your peace

By not being a beast,

Please allow my love for others to increase

Search me, O Lord, and know my heart

For you have known me from the start,

Cleanse and change me,

from all that I am,

You know my name and that’s where I’ll stand,

In silence, meditating and listening to your word,

with God right beside me, never being deterred

Create a clean heart in me

to be all I can be,

So my words won’t defeat me,

for I totally trust in thee

I choose to speak life for the rest of my life,

Believing and hoping to live a life of less strife.

POTS AND PANS

I grew up in a household with five brothers and three sisters. Meals had to be planned sometimes the day before which, to be honest, I hated.

The Blessed State of the Righteous

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

Who delights greatly in his commandments,

His descendants will be mighty on the earth;

The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches will be in his house,

And his righteousness endures forever.

Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;

He is gracious and full of compassion, and righteous.

A good man deals graciously and lends;

He will guide his affairs with discretion.

Surely he will never be shaken;

The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

He will not be afraid of evil tidings;

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

His heart is established;

He will not be afraid.

Life is an illusion, a made up reality of what you think is possible. We all live in our own little world which was manifested based on our emotions, and life preferences. Some are victims of their circumstance and environment. What if you began to change the way you think about what’s actually possible? We have the power and Continue reading “CHASING YOUR DREAMS” →
