Trusting God

I used to think my ship would come in Dreaming of fortune, a modicum of fame, But learning to be content where I am Has taught me the real name of the game. Finding oneself and being happy inside Is more important than loads of currency Though security is certainly a desirable So is just knowing “the Lord will provide.” When the fates deal me some bitter pill And my future is looking especially grim, I need to remember He’s with me still, Sustenance depends on my trusting Him.
