He Guides My Path – The Writing of Sarah Berthelson

We need a prayer meeting across our land

Thinking of our troops fighting in that sand

We call ourselves believers in all that is right

Yet we abort our babies and with each other fight

Does not seem to matter what the fight is about

It is I am right and your are wrong, isn’t that right?

We need a prayer meeting across our land

To come together and love one another as our self

That is what our God would like from us

Let us pray for the politician that they will get right with Him

So much confusion everyday of our life

Our little children cannot understand all this strife

Neighbor against neighbor, State against state

What in the world will be our fate?

We need a prayer meeting across our land

Gather together bow before Him and pray

For guidance and mercy that we need every day

Oh how we need a prayer meeting today

Today I am seeking God’s will for my life

I want to know what His will is for me

Should I go or should I stay that is what I say

Just seeking

Where is God when I need this answer today

I am seeking His will in a decision to make

I bowed my head and earnestly prayed

To show me His will  just this day

He doesn’t answer right away

Just seeking

Sometimes I am so confused if it’s God’s will or mine

I know I make mistake not waiting for His time

Just seeking

Today I am seeking answers to questions in my life

When He doesn’t answer in my timing it brings strife

Just seeking

I am seeking Lord your answer today

Please let me know if I should go or should I stay

Just seeking

Jesus is the one that I desire to please

Help me as I am seeking put me at ease

Just seeking

Thank you for loving me and showing me the way

As I  leave these decisions in your care

Now my prayer will be answered and I will share

When I awoke this morning you were on my mind

I thought if you were ill, in need or someone had been unkind

I prayed for you today

As I walked into the kitchen my coffee to make

You were on my mind and I asked Jesus to take

Your worries and concern away from you mind

I prayed for you today

I sat down in my favorite chair and Hs word I read

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament

Which is shed for many for the remission of sin

I prayed for you today

Today will be whatever we would like it to be

The choices are ours to be blind to His word or to see

That He paid the price for us, there was no fee

I prayed for you today

May God be the center of your universe

Do not be sad, angry or curse

Just look to him and at this verse

I prayed for you today

Bow your head and ask for His forgiveness

Ask Him to come and to be Lord of your life

Be obedient and there will be much less strife

I prayed for you today

God, tonight, as I sit at my computer and write,
My body is aching and my muscles are tight.
I am tired.

I am tired, dear Jesus, and thank you for your strength.
You have given me patience and contentment
That I am thankful for – that
No feelings were hurt (and that is in tack).
I am tired.

Dear God as I sit here today watching the news of the day
How I fear what will happen to America as I pray
Why should you bless us as we have looked the other way
When you so graciously tell us to watch and obey
Your grace has been bestowed upon us in so many ways
Yet we are disobedient to your WORD in what you say
Our minds are on the war and the things of the world
Where we can go and what we can do to forget about you
We are turning to gods that make us happy and to forget
What is going on in the world that is distressing as we fret
God don’t leave us nor turn your back to us, yet this is what we deserve
Our lives do not reflect that in you we put our trust
Pornography is all over the place, on the TV, the movies
and the computers we touch
Your children are not dressing in the manner that pleases you
Our dress is not modest as you have asked it to be
The way we talk and use your name in vain and the terrible
Words that are spoken each day from the mouths
Of your children, that must make you sad
Oh how we wish that we would not be so bad
God don’t leave us even though we have no right to ask
The way we live is shameful and a disgust
Our children are drinking, using drugs seem to be a must
To be popular with their peers is more important than
Doing the right thing that would please you dear Lord
Forgive us today as we have walked away from praying and serving you
Many are bored and find the world so appealing
When it is you that we should try to be pleasing
Forgive us dear Lord as we live in the fear
Of loosing our loved ones as they fight for our freedom
When we look at our life, can we truly believe that you
Are not saddened by what you see in us this day
God please don’t leave us and this is what I pray!

It is my Christian duty to love you even if you are unlovable
It is my Christian duty to forgive you for acting ugly

That is my Christian duty
To be more Christ-like as He said

When I was a child, I thought as a child

So innocent and pure were my thoughts back then

Then I grew up and a teenager I became, I didn’t know much

Sometimes I thought I was insane, couldn’t believe how I had changed

When I turned twenty and was a college co-ed

I thought it was something and nothing to dread

Well college was over and I had to go to work

Taught school in Meridian and loved what I did

In my twenties I married a Marine, still thinking everything was fine

Now I am a senior citizen and have raised a family

Worries and troubles everywhere I look!

Friends are sick and dying now, things to worry about are here

The only thing that keeps me sane is the Love of my Lord

I hurt when people hurt and that isn’t fun

What happened to the fun times of being a child?

When I was in the third grade the county nurse came by
She checked the eyes of all the students

A note was sent to my parents that day
Your child cannot see well, a specialist is a must

Away we went, a diagnoses was made
Lazy eye blindness , not much we can do

A patch was to be used over the good eye to force the bad one to see
 The good eye was not the best as I  would like it to be

Was not much fun for a child such as me
So off went the patch when my parents were not looking
I went to college with not much money to spend
Then the reading teacher called me in

A scholarship you have received
Tuition was paid so were my books and also my food

Who would have thought that a blind eye would be such a blessing
God allowed me to get my degree with out a debt or a fee
Because of a Lazy Eye that refused to SEE!!
