Hearing His Voice

This is taken from a poem I wrote last month called "Late at Night"

I had had fear pounce on me and was trying to figure out why.

As I poured my heart out in words on a page, the Lord spoke to my heart.

Here is that section of the poem:

My heart hears His voice:

Cast your care upon Me

Put them in My backpack

My shoulders are broad enough

To carry all your cares

Tie My love around you,

Like a rescue rope in a stormy sea

I will lift you up out of the raging

Fear, doubt, anxiousness

Rest in Me, let Me blanket you

With My lovingkindness.

Let Me hold you and sing songs

over you to calm your soul.

Rest in My arms,

Rest in My Word,

Don't just believe on Me,

Believe Me

I have plans, grand ones,

Trust Me, my child,

Stand on the water beside Me,

Let Me hold your hand like you did your sons'

So many years ago.

You may wobble and tumble

But I will catch you

I may lift you straight up

Or gently set you gingerly on the ground.

Feel Me cupping your chin,

Lifting your head,

Wiping away the tears,

Making you look straight at ME.

Lock your eyes with Mine.

Stray not!

One step at a time,

one breath at a time,

one prayer at a time,

one moment at a time.

Choose to trust,

no matter what your heart fears,

or your mind doubts,

Trust Me, child, this is best.

I love you, more than you can ever imagine,

More than you will ever understand.

Don't run ahead of Me.

You will fall. Just patiently walk beside Me.

Let Me lead, and guide.

Let Me protect

Allow Me to whisper secrets in your ear.

To reveal yet another sliver

Of Who I Am

To give you yet another name for Myself
