I Was Discouraged But Jesus Found Me

I Was Discouraged…  But Jesus Found Me!

I was so discouraged the
 way things were going.
I was frustrated and upset. 
 And it was showing!

I was about ready to give up
 on everything I tried…
And remember the nights I laid awake and cried.

I thought of God.  Whom I once had professed…
But now was doubtful, confused and so depressed.

Just then, I felt a voice coming down,
And soon felt God’s love and
 presence all around!

His voice spoke clearly
 that particular day.
And spoke three words to me;
 “trust and obey!”

These words had a new meaning
 and touched my heart.
For Jesus has loved me.  Right from the start!

I poured out my heart to him
 with every burden.
He rolled back the dark clouds
 and “heavy curtain.”

He helped me to focus and give 
my worries to him.
As a new life began to transform from within!

I’ve given to him my every problem
 and every need.
His word and spirit has given
a new direction to lead.

Won’t you allow him to change 
your life this hour?
And experience his love and
 life-changing power!!!
