Welcome!



I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.

September 12 - Going Through Spiritual Confusion

Lord,
Your mystery surrounds You.
Please give me eyes to see,
How when You seem so far away
You still are loving me.

When my prayers don't seem to matter
And I feel lost and alone,
You ask me, Lord, to trust You
Though my heart just wants to groan.

But You always give me strength, Lord,
And answer every prayer.
Even when I feel confusion
It's evident how You care.

I suppose there are people who never question God - never second guess His will and way.  I would love to be like that but, alas, I am too human.  Thus, I get confused.  Things I have asked for are ignored (though eventually I find they were just delayed.)   Spiritual confusion calls for more trust.
