Kimo Therapy 2

Dragging my faith through the choppy waters,
donning lifejacket with strength,
I gave God the stern wheel.

With Him I found belief combines with grace
to reveal a safe harbor
just a prayer away.

You don't have to get all the words just right.
He knows the answers you need.
You just have to trust Him.

thanks, Andrea.just learned recently that another definition for kimo is a supplanter which fits my theme as well...a person who takes the place that someone else had occupied previously.

Indeed! The words matter not (for He knows your sufferings), only your faith in Him and offering up your hurts and worries, through surrender, making room in your heart for His Love and the answers that reveal themselves. Such a deep, spiritual beauty, Reason.. Best wishes for a win. ~Susan

thanks, Susan. It is from my heart to someone who can't find her way in His way yet.
