I Was Discouraged…  But Jesus Found Me!

I was so discouraged the

 way things were going.

I was frustrated and upset.

 And it was showing!

I was about ready to give up

 on everything I tried…

And remember the nights

I laid awake and cried.

I thought of God.  Whom I once

 had professed…

But now was doubtful, confused

and so depressed.

Just then, I felt a loud voice coming down,

And soon felt God’s love and

 presence all around!

His voice spoke clearly

 that particular day.

And spoke three words to me;

 “trust and obey!”

These words had a new meaning

 and touched my heart.

For Jesus has loved me. 

Right from the start!

I poured out my heart to him

 with every burden.

He rolled back the dark clouds

 and “heavy curtain.”

He helped me to focus and give

my worries to him.

As a new life began to transform

from within!

I’ve given to him my every problem

 and every need.

His word and spirit has given

a new direction to lead.

Won’t you allow him to change

your life this hour?

And experience his love and

 life-changing power???
