I need God to be my peace
As I face the unknown
My future, my past,
Things out of my control
My guardian, my guidance
Leading me on
By going first
And protecting me as His own
My teacher
So that I can retain information in school
As a ministry major
Trying to impact the kingdom
So Christ can continue to rule in me
My rock
When my foundation feels unsteady
When he tells me “go”
And I don’t feel ready
My friend
When I have felt so lonely here
As I try and block out insecurity and fear
My reassurance
When I have misplaced my trust
In things that I never should have loved so much
My father
While my earthly father isn’t close
But Christ says HE is close
My comfort
As I grieve
My childhood, my past
And everything in between
My confidence
So that when he speaks
I listen
And walk in obedience
I need him to be my Best Friend
So that I have a shoulder to turn to
With good news and bad news
To share in celebration
And to cry in tribulation
My peace
My guardian
My guidance
My teacher
My rock
My friend
My reassurance
My father
My comfort
My confidence
My best friend
My everything
My Jesus
I enjoyed reading this blog. It’s comforting knowing that Jesus is all of the above, and so much more. My teacher, a friend, father, my guide, and ultimate healer. This year has been tough for many of us, I’m most certain. But, in the midst of chaos, he has provided for me. He has stuck by my side as I’ve went through different seasons of life, especially this most recent, one I never imagined myself growing through. The idea of Jesus simply brings me peace; he is my silence. I have started to rely more and more on him. I am praying that I continue to strengthen my relationship with him because he knows I need him, I want him, and I love him- just as he loves us.
I loved reading this! It can be so comforting knowing that all of us are going through our battles but we all lean on the same God. He never leaves our side and will continue to provide as long as we believe. I’ve needed Him more than anything as my reassurance. I am going through a stage in life where I am uncertain about the big decisions that I am making. But trusting in God and knowing that He will provide for me gives me the confidence to keep going.
We don’t realize how much God is to us until we hit rock bottom. From a personal standpoint, he’s everything. Without him I wouldn’t know what to do half the time, or how to make a decision. Looking at what I have been through and how I got through those situations, he was the common factor in all of it.
I loved this! This piece conveys the true meaning of God. I need Jesus to be my rock and to hold me down whenever my thoughts are too much for this world. I need him to be reassurance whenever I feel unsure of myself and where I am at. College has been the most chaotic and stressful thing that has happened in my life, but it has also been the most fun I’ve ever had. To have Jesus be my best friend through these times means the world to me.
This is a beautiful poem of how God satisfies every need of our soul. In every situation we can turn to God, and he will always provide.
This is an amazing poem that puts into account how we need God to be so many things for us and he delivers in so many different ways for us.
This poem was extrmeley moving it made me feel at peace and also brought many positive thoughts into my head. Thank you for sharing
I really enjoyed reading this. It reminds me that even when I don’t think it he is there. waiting for me. he is there with me. Because he truly is all things above in this piece of poetry/book.
