I Need God Everyday

*A Poem I Wrote to Remind Myself*

A sign painted by Author

Words and thoughts overflow my mind

Looking for answers I never seem to find

I realize that God usually isn’t the first place I go

Its only after I try things first on my own

So why do I keep trying to find the answers alone?

I know the bible holds truth and words held with power.

But I still overload my brain with worry

Wanting it to all to be gone in my timing,

Mostly just in a hurry.

Sinking further away from God’s truth

Not wanting to lose control is my common excuse.

Time and time again,

God offers His hand out for me to be led

I must remember all the promises He has already said.

The Words hold all the answers

In His promises waiting for me to be read

Help that no humanly hand can ever lend.

I know where I should turn

I should find peace in God’s promises.

But that isn’t usually the first route I take

But I should for mine and everyone’s sake

I easily look in the wrong places

Only to end up feeling defeated and jaded

So today I pray for help:

For the next time I am feeling down,

Please God keep me from first looking around

I need You every morning before my feet hit the ground.
