We are to be anxious for nothing, as our Lord knows our very being, <br />God who gave us our very breath, guides us in the shadow of death, <br />He, who has guided us in the past, knows the future that’s been cast, <br />With God there’s no fear or doubt, what all of our trials, are all about. <br /> <br />Believers need to look to God, who leads His own with staff and rod, <br />A Loving Shepherd, filled with care, guides us out of all dark despair, <br />With His rod when we tend to stray, into life’s darkness along the way, <br />Then He loving guides with His staff, when back onto His well lit path. <br /> <br />A planned course that’s well lit for us, when we employ faith and trust, <br />In God’s Word and become assured, by not man, but Christ our Lord, <br />For all in The Lord make no mistake, none of His own, He will forsake, <br />Even when we choose to roam, our Shepherd will see us safely home. <br /> <br />The Lord Himself will bar no cost, to find that one sheep which is lost, <br />To bring them safely into the fold, where God’s Word they will behold, <br />The Light and Truth, not of this world, which only true believers herald, <br />Giving us internal light and peace, that in any darkness, will not cease. <br /> <br />Even when darkness does draw near, with The Lord, we need not fear, <br />For God imparts to us His Light, which pierces even the darkest night, <br />And He who formed us from the earth, has provided to us a new birth, <br />Through His Eternal Son, Jesus Christ, Who promises us, Eternal Life. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©11/2009)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-anxious-for-nothing/
