Stephan McBride Poet Free verse

Hope

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalms 25:5 NIV


God our  hope is in you
Moment by moment
That one might become less 
In order ,you might become more
For your love is pure and true
Guide one in your truth
So one might see the deception
In this world being held captive
Confusion from deceitful hearts at bay
Seeking to be their own shrine
For one can be in the world
But be pulled out from it
God one can read your word to see
Only through you is there a way to be free
For ones soul to find a refuge 
In all the chaos around one
Teach one who seeks the truth
From the spirit promised
To gain the hidden treasures
Of understanding and knowledge
Wisdom not taught by the flesh
In ones weakness give one strength 
Receiving new vision and hearing
To detect all the false teachings 
The eyes shall be opened to see
All that trys  to deter and reject
What is not from from you.
Hearing to discern false teachings
Through your spirit sent 
Let one learn your ways
To become pleasing in your eyes
To become a temple for your presence
That one might see this life is not our own
We once had no way to return
But through Christ one can be redeemed

Komal Walimbe March 28, 2023 at 2:34 AM A great write and great sentiments made right here! Hope you are doing great Stephan! :) Stephan McBride March 28, 2023 at 8:36 AM Amen my friend, our hope should be one day people might get smart enough to see they are fighting against God, the word of God is the same as when written, but it takes the spirit promised from God to reveal these things in ones life, God said they must worship in spirit and truth. May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

Valsa George March 15, 2023 at 11:15 PM "Only through you is there a way to be free".... I do believe this fully and firmly. When we realize the Truth, we see the deception in the world and try to turn away from it . May your faith draw you closer and closer to God. Enjoyed your poem with a lot of spiritual insight, dear Stephan. Stephan McBride March 16, 2023 at 7:07 AM Amen, valsa.

Sotto Poet March 12, 2023 at 6:45 AM Stephan, this was a very poetic writing, the metaphor is so delightful, and the faith and hope of the whole moment are just exquisite. Stephan McBride March 13, 2023 at 6:01 AM Well thank you my dear friend, all glory to God, it is for Him I write to express the change within, not of my own doing, I got that metaphor learning from going to school to get my PHD. (public high school) degree. Lol. : )
