He Guides My Path – The Writing of Sarah Berthelson

God tells me that He will meet my needs

He has kept His word oh yes in deed

I am not rich or the healthiest there is

I have enough

He did not promise me a rose garden

Just that my needs would be met this day

He tells me to share because some cannot pay

I have enough

Jesus has shown me children that needed a kind word

He has placed them clearly into my world

He gave me the words to say to them

I have enough

I have a home and a nice place to sleep

Covers on my bed and especially sheets

I have plenty of food that He provides

I can go buy a candy bar if I so desire

I have enough

His word is in my home and I read it daily

He speaks to me and leaves nothing out

To show me the way He desires me to go

Not for a moment is it for show

What we do is because He allowed it

I have enough

God has blessed me in so many ways

I notice something new every single day

He kept His promise and I need to obey

I have enough

Sarah Berthelson

Sometimes, my Father says, “No.”
He does it because He loves me so.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for answering my prayers.
Thank you for the many times that you said, “No,”
Because you did my blessings flow.

 This was my plea for almost four years
 There were much heartache and many a tear

Shay came into this world and I am thankful he was a boy.
 Don’t give up if you want a baby God maybe saying a little later

I have been so weary with fear

Someone I love and hold so dear

Became ill and needed some care

God answered someone’s prayer

Father I did not want to fear

I wanted my faith to be very clear

Yet fear crept in and I needed help

I phone friends and emailed for prayer

For the healing of the one I love

God answered someone’s prayer

The doctor did not call when I needed to hear

That all is well and the test was clear

I begged and pleaded for you to intervene

You did Lord Jesus the test was clean

God answered someone’s prayer

I stand in awe of the privilege of prayer

You are there waiting to hear

Our heartache and burdens that we fear

Thank you for answered prayer

My loved one is fine and I know that you heal

God answered someone’s prayer

Did you know that I thought of you today

I said a prayer for you as I bowed my head

Did you know that you are so special

That God would have died for you alone

Did you know that God sent everyone that you know into your life

That you were so loved that He wanted me to know you

Did you know that you are beautiful

That when He made you that He was so pleased

Did you know that everything that you have He allowed

That you will have a complete life through Him

Did you know that He wants you to acknowledge Him today

He misses the fellowship with His child that He loves so dear

Did you know that He laid this poem on my heart for you

To let you know He desires for you the very best He has

Did you know that I am sending this for Him

May you be blessed today as you pray

Thank you Father for the children that look up to me

They are so small and innocent always so care free

The desire of my heart is for them to know and love you

To realize that you knew each one before they were born

You have a purpose for each tiny life

May they find You early on to help with the strife

I cannot imagine what temptations they will face

As I look at what is in the world today

No one to look up to and no safe place to play

My Father I know that you love them more than I

So please take care of them where I will not cry

Bless them dear God and keep them from harm

May they serve You daily

Keep your loving arms around them

Allow each one to feel your love so warm

My dear friend do you know how special you are
God in his wisdom checked out his universe
He saw that something special was missing here

That is when he knew that the world would be
A more beautiful place if you were in it

It did not take him long to make a big decision
Who would he give you to on this wonderful day

Well there was a mother and daddy who decided to pray
For a child that they needed to make there family complete

He knew this family and thought that you were perfect
To place in that home where he knew you belonged
No one else would make it so complete

As this special person was his for them to greet
He made you more special than you can ever know
You are beautiful inside and out as you continue to grow

Not just in a physical form but spiritually as well
You are placed on this earth to do his perfect will

I am so thankful you are in my family
It is more special because of you
