With Him
One day I started this walk
With Him,
As His love woos me to Him!
So I believed then prayed!
At first the trail was smooth
there was only a little dust aroused
as I scampered along
With Him.
As I believed then prayed!
Soon the heat beat down
so His Shadow became my shade
He refreshed me with
His living water
so I pressed on
With Him.
As I believed then prayed!
Down down into a vast deep valley
darkness, depression, and fear
was trying to hide what lie ahead
He became my Light.
As I trodden on
With Him.
As I believed then prayed!
Coldness of bitterness tried to steal away
warmth of my life
His love became the fire
that melted away the icy night
as I toiled on
With Him.
As I believed then prayed!
The road soon turned upward
the gentle incline grew steep
growling hunger pains came from within
He became my bread of life
a nourishing power of Him,
I climbed higher
With Him.
As I believed then prayed!
A narrow mountain trail grew vertical
jagged sharp-edged rocks
razor cuts deep to my bones
a nailed scared touch of His Hand
was all healing of the wounds
I ascended upward,
With Him.
As I believed then prayed!
A missed placed step
a slip, a stumble, a fall
catapulted for sure to succumb on boulders below
His mercy. His grace,
Rescued as I was captured
back into enduring arms,
With Him.
I believed then prayed!
Thieves, robbers, set traps and snares
meaning to entangle
lions and serpents seeking to devour.
He the gentle Shepherd
guided, guarded as I grazed Living Words
drank from the Fruit of the Living Vine
In Him.
I believed and prayed!
As many a valley I have crossed,
countless mountains have been climbed,
rivers to numerous to count forged,
trials, temptations pitfalls surpassed,
evil’s forces confronted,
sins confessed, weakness turned to strength
for His Glory.
For He is my Fortress, my Rock
my Shepherd, my Light, my Strength,
my Lord, my Messiah, my Love,
my life is
With Him.
one thing I have learned
is to believe and pray.
These last few miles He now carries me
forward on life’s narrow path,
clutched tightly against His chest
to His Abba Father’s Home
where I shall live at rest forever
With Him,
Yeshua Messiah.
As I believed and prayed!
Amen.

Betsy, I have found maybe only one golden nugget in His Word and I could not keep it, I had to give it a way;
we must Believe then Pray, Amen
Thank you for this one. Love it. Love your writing style.
Alan, A blessing it is when a writing touches someone and blesses them. Thank-you and God Bless!
Very, very beautiful. I can recognize my own life in your words. Thanks.
God bless!
tachr, I have been in the Psalms reading David’s words. Many of his Psalms I could see myself and God working in them. I was hoping the words God gave would do the same. Where I just disappear and all that is seen is God and the reader. Thank-you and many Blessing to you, Amen.
That was lovely, James! Sorry I haven’t been around much…..
Yes I have been missing you! Thank-you for the kindness! His blessing are all around you, Amen!
Absolutely beautiful.
Jisun, From you that is very high praise, thank-you and blessings to you!
love this…. sounds like my life. love it.
A writer I admire very much once said when one is writing the author needs to disappear and the reader becomes apart of the words left behind on the page. All praise goes to our Yeshua Messiah the author of our lives, Amen.
