Look up during times of stress!
When dark thoughts begin to consume your life.
And your days are becoming filled with pain or strife.
Call out to God, is where you should begin.
Then God's Holy Spirit moves in like a friend.
In the darkest of times his light will shine.
Bringing amazing peace to our heart and mind.
He separates our darkness with his light.
Relaxing us when we feel uptight.
Deep within his voice can be heard.
An impression is felt or you might hear a word.
Telling you that things will be ok.
Or to change a direction and walk another way.
Pour your heart out to him, he wants to hear.
Don't resist his prompting. Allow him to draw near.
Tell him you're scared or you just don't know.
What to do next, or which way to go.
It's okay to say "God! Help me to believe?"
Or keep people from you that might try to deceive.
Ask God to tell you what He wants you to do.
It is his will to make these things known to you.
Sit still quietly, waiting for His words.
Deep in your heart, positive thoughts will be heard.
Thoughts forced upon you, will not be his voice.
God's love allows us each to make our own choice.
When thoughts float from inside, similar to his word.
Or in your mind a loving and kind voice can be heard.
Chances are that's God, this is what you should do.
It's okay to question. Asking "Lord! is that you?"
Write down each thought that comes across your mind.
Separate the good from the bad ones and you will find.
Its' the ones that reflect some form of love.
Are the thoughts that speak to us from above.
Cross out the ones that just don't feel right.
The ones that encourage you to hate, hurt or fight.
Whenever bible verse come to your mind.
That seem to be related to events at the time.
Do as they say and let peace be your guide.
You are going the wrong way when you feel stress inside.
We're designed by our Father for good and to show love.
Any voice or thoughts contrary to this, is not from above.
