Philippians 4:6-7 

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,

with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

Rights

 

What is the right to proclaim if still uncertain?

There is a time for everything set under the Son

How then to define and open the curtain

to expose motivation as many things are done?

 

There is a right to know … Is that understanding?

How one perceives an issue … Is it a state of heart?

Is it not factual that in most of our planning

The issue of love only takes a backseat part?

 

Is it not in emotion that we call the substance “Love”?

Does not that bring most issues into feeling?

Is not then reality far removed from the Will of God

As our hearts are found wheeling dealing?

 

Who is the father of emotion and who directs its actions?

Who made me so tender here so that I believe every step?

Who is to direct it and then in satisfaction

smiles upon that stumbling block as it holds me back?

 

We are wonderfully made I know … but what about the Fall

Is that not the reason for my unpredictability?

One moment up and another down not hearing the Call,

that God has for all of us in spite of our disability
