Three Questions

To make changes in life for the better
No matter what condition we are faced with
Quite often urged by friends with good intentions
“Trust God.” “Just pray and trust God.”

‘Though imperative to trust in your Creator
He has already given you all you need
In the quiet moments free from distractions
Stop and ask yourself three questions

Three questions to the path you seek
Am I aware of what is holding me down?
Do I want improvement in my life?
What things can I change to accomplish it?

Be true to yourself in all things
Follow through with prayers and God’s word
Stand back and see His glory
As your life becomes a new story

good advice, it is hard to change for some reason, our comfy place keeps us too complacent.

audrey, I really like you pointing that out in your poem. Always people say, "just pray, just trust in God" but we have to ACTIVELY do the things in life that we want to succeed in, and then we can pray along with that, but you can't have one without the other! I enjoy your poems too. Andrea
