Lockdown Essentials

I believe in God’s power* midst lockdown Since no disaster can shut His grace down. In such state, I need foremost the Bible Scriptures anchor my faith to be stable. Medicines serve as great necessities To combat blood pressure’s adversities. Vitally important are documents For social and financial engagements. Hygiene kit plus sanitizer’s fullness Shouts “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” Money, though ephemeral, meets my needs Securing welfare while the mouth it feeds. Gadgets which become my helpful buddies Must stay handy as essential goodies. Grateful am I for each grace-packed food box Supplies with the Lord’s blessing bounty-stocks. Above all is earnest soul’s prayer might Trusting Christ to uphold me in my plight. Hope in the Saviour brings peace to my heart Reviving spirit, braced by joy’s rampart.
*1Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. May 2, 2020 5th place, "Couplet- any theme, any length" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart; judged on 5/4/2020.
