Thank you God that you are the ever-present God,
You are always present in my circumstance,
Always present in my every day,
Understanding me and knowing my thoughts before I know them myself.
You are ever-present with everything I need for each particular moment,
You come with Your Help of provision for each need.
In my moments of worry...
You offer me confidence that You will provide.
In my moments of darkness...
You are there with Your seeds of hope and rays of light.
In my moments of confusion, when the haze seems to reign...
You are ever-present with Your Truth and guidance.
In my moments of unbelief...
You are present with Your pursuit of love, healing my eyes of faith.
In my moments of grief and sadness...
You come with Your comforting love, soothing and healing the wounds.
In the moments of fear...
You are there with Your courage and strength.
In my moments of stress...
You are there with your enduring peace and wisdom.
In my moments of mourning...
You bring those splashes of joy.
In my moments of anger...
You come with quietness and renew my thinking.
Ever-present
Ever-present with Help,
For every situation, every emotion, every kind of need.
You are my ever-present God... my ever-present Help...my ever-present Father!!!

The Hand of God
Oh how I love the hand of God,
The hand of God that destroys the enemies plan,
The hand, that in a moment can reverse the news, the report, the curse, the obvious, the intent to harm.
This is the hand of God that shut the lions mouth for Daniel,
That protected 3 men when they were thrown into the fire because they refused to bow down to the king,
That led Joshua and Caleb to Rahab's house and changed her destiny.
That led Ruth to the land of Israel, gave her a godly husband allowing her to be part of the genelogy of the
Messiah,
That moved the king to allow the captive Jews to wipe out their enemies, reversing the verdict that was
going to destroy the Jews,
That warned Joseph in a dream to flee to Egypt, protecting the Messiah's life....
This hand of God that has stirred the generations in countless ways...
Continues to protect and provide.
This is the hand of God
That responds to my tears which have flooded His heart.
And as He turns His head...He comes...
He comes with a jealous love, with avenging intent...to His beloved one who has called out to Him,
His hand... that is always there... although sometimes it is hidden in the darkness of the circumstance.
This is the hand that reaches down into the darkness..and rescues,
Drawing me to Himself from the depths of the despair...
This is the hand that breaks through with the brilliance of TRUTH ,
That comes...and sends the enemy running...in fear as He releases His mighty roar...
Declaring,"This is My beloved one. This is the one who has been set apart for My glory."
And He holds me tight
Leading me into that beautiful, broad place,
That place of freedom from fear, anxiety, despair, discouragement.
That beautiful, broad place,
Where His hand touches me,
And my mind is renewed,
Releasing hope and the promise of spring.
That beautiful, broad place
Where I experience His delight and pleasure,
And receive His wholeness and fullness.
The hand of God,
That moves as my cry comes to His ear.
The hand of God that moves because the purposes of God for His beloved ones cannot be thwarted!!!

The Valley Streams
The valley streams
Where the orchards of the King grow and mature,
Receive the streams from the mountain.
The valley streams
Receive the fresh outpouring of the melting snow.
The valley,
Hemmed in by the mountains,
But a perfect environment to grow and mature...
What are my valley streams?
Are they the source of grace, nourishment, and provision provided for me from the Father's heart?
Even-though the mountains are surrounding me and appear to be an obstacle..
They are creating an atmosphere for growth and maturity.
Although my mountains of sickness, difficulties at work, dwindling bank account, nightmares,
strained relationships, seem to surround me..
As I look to my source of Help and receive the valley streams from His heart...
He grows and matures me,
As He supplies me with His nourishment and the sustaining grace of His streams.
Even here, in the valley,
He allows me to blosom,
As those seeds of promise and hope create springtime.
Even here...
Sometimes my Beloved calls me into the valley
To come along-side of another, and bring growth to another.
But whenever I find myself here...in this valley,
I find my Beloved right next to me.
Yes, the springtime comes and blosoms, even in the valley
With the gift of those valley streams.

Bright and Morning Star
Come
Bright and Morning Star,
Come and break through...
Break through the pride, the confusion, the darkness, the shame of yesterday...
Come and break through the pain, the sadness, the despair, the questions, the lies...
Come and break through the gloom.
Come and arise
With Your illuminating light, Morning Star,
And reveal the Light, the Truth
Of who You are
And who I am.
Come with that spark of hope,
And light Your flame within...
Bright and Morning Star,
Come and break through...
Break through the pride, the confusion, the darkness, the shame of yesterday...
Come and break through the pain, the sadness, the despair, the questions, the lies...
Come and break through the gloom.
Come and arise
With Your illuminating light, Morning Star,
And reveal the Light, the Truth
Of who You are
And who I am.
Come with that spark of hope,
And light Your flame within...
