Battered Moments

In these battered moments, I thank You, God, for my imperfect life In these battered moments, In your perfection, I see beyond my strife I these battered moments, I reach to find You with me In these battered moments, I know your loving arms carry me In these battered moments, The pain will pass, I am assured In these battered moments, I remember the pain for me You endured In these battered moments, My faith, I hold onto without fear In these battered moments, I know the rainbow will soon be here And with the clouds parting, I see this moment will soon be gone As I get a glimpse Heaven, You give me the strength to carry on I can do all things, through Christ, who gives me strength. â€“Philippians 4:13

Thank you, Rhonda. Yes, I thank God that it is so easy for me to write poetry. Most poems are on paper in less than 15 mins. I never know what I am going to write about. It comes one line at a time. I thank God. Loved your Battered Moments. God's word is so encouraging to us all. God bless you, Maureen

Such a moving poem of faith, Rhonda. When we are feeling "battered" or depressed, all we need do is turn our lives over to God. I love the way you described the clouds parting so you could "get a glimpse of heaven." Excellent! Love, Carolyn
