Don’t be surprised
When the trouble comes your way
Everyone will get their turn
That you can count on
It is just the way life is
The question that must be asked
Will I be ready
The circumstances
Will rob you of all your joy
If you will let it
There’s a difference
Between mind and the spirit
When the mind rules things
We only see half
When mind and spirit combine
One has the power to see
I’ve had addictions
That have captured my mind here
Only by the Spirit’s love
Have I been able To overcome the deep hurt
Find power to love
There’s a process
Important to understand
In birthing real love
There’s transformation
That takes place in the human
When you engage the Spirit
As well as the mind
Adding determination
To know what’s really the truth
I want to know what it means
To trust God with all my heart
To surrender all of me
Head, heart and the mind

~ My prayer today!
Make me bold and stout hearted
Focused and fully present
With compassion and firmness
Led by your Spirit
(based on The Psalmist 138:3)

Your Story Matters 
This reminds me of one of my favorite verses:
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
I find comfort in this verse: we do, indeed, live in a broken, troubled world. But there is hope.
Blessings on you, Carrie. The practicing of His Presence each day prepares you to reveal Him when the trouble comes. Thank you for sharing His words with me. Terry
