God Is In Control - 1

I ask God – “Why me?”
When I lose some sweet dream
What did I do to fail?
Was I wrong in some way?
Did I neglect or forsake?
Did disappointment betray?
I ask God – “	Why?”

I ask God – “When will it happen?”
Often worrying about the time
When will I get the answer…
To some prayer that I’ve prayed
Many more times than I like
Hoping for the right answer
Yet, I wait… stressing about the pressure

I ask God – “What should I do?”
Expecting His answer to show me
The truth, the way, the light
But I find, so many times, that 
I have to struggle with patiently waiting
For the answer to come from a time
When He choses to reveal His reply

I ask God – and I sometimes question
The answer, especially if it’s negative
Yet, I know, God knows the best
And I must let go and let God
If I expect to be filled with the inner
Peace that comes from knowing
God is always the One in control!

God shows himself all around us thus when we are stuck in circumstances we must know that it is for our good or someone else’s. Sometimes we are able to help others because we have gone through the same thing. To let go of bitter things is very hard but the seed we sow in forgiveness will be reaped as a treasure. Hugs.

I sure know that feeling of waiting for an answer. I think I won't get it until I die. Very good poetry, Gina!!

“I must let go and let God” ~ there you have it! Aspect allowing, gently flowing ~ all coordinates of the Ferris wheel, having equal appeal! Delightful muse, Regina!
