Poem: God Took My Hand
Welcome,
Today I simply wanted to share this poem. I pray the Lord will use it to encourage your hearts.
For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ — Isaiah 41:13
The day had gone; alone and weak
I groped my way within a bleak
And sunless land.
The path that led into the light
I could not find!
In that dark night
God took my hand.
He led me that I might not stray
And brought me by a new, safe way
I had not known.
By waters still, through pastures green
I followed Him--the path was clean
Of briar and stone.
The heavy darkness lost its strength,
My waiting eyes beheld at length
The streaking dawn.
On, safely on, through sunrise glow
I walked, my hand in His, and lo,
The night had gone.
--Annie Porter Johnson
A Quiet Prayer
Loving Father, thank You for Your presence, for taking my hand and guiding me into Your green patures. Amen
