No Worries

Be pregnant with expectation
It’s one of my favorite phrases
It takes me from agonizing lamentations
And fills my heart and soul with hope

This world can’t explain the word faith
That everything wrong will be made right
But it’s what I hold to so dearly
When I start feeling alone in my plight

So often I have wondered
What it feels like to be all alone
And not have Jesus in your heart
And forever in my worries I’d roam

I thank you Father for expectation
And even for the pain I sometimes go through
For in these times I feel your comfort
As I cling with all that is within me to You

God’s will, will prevail in this world
So to worry about anything is vain
I will always strive to walk in faith
It’s the only thing that keeps me sane

Faith is an amazing part of us all, some demonstrate it and other, well they do not. However it can get us through the most trying of times. This read is done so very well, it is clear and a strong attestation of your faith. Michael

Laurie this is perfect. The line "The world can't explain faith" is so true. It is something that has to be felt. Even though I write about my darkness I also know Christ IS always with me, I have known Him my whole life and I wonder at those who don't know this feeling because I don't understand what it is like not to know him. Awesome write. God bless you! Love, Robin
