Our Commander during the crazy 11.10.2

 Our Commander during the crazy 11.10.2024


Anxiety was rampant

Running amok in my brain

Added to the crazy

Was sheer physical pain.. 


Needed a respite

Someone to share the load

‘Jesus, ‘ I begged

‘ please help me on this downhill road.. ‘


The words began to flow

Full of healing and strength

As my pen flew on the page

The flow blew me away, in its breadth and length.. 


The Redeemer is as His name

Specialist in the broken pieces

Broken relationships, 

Ironing out the creases.. 


He's still the Balm of Gilead

The Lily of the valley

The Bright and morning star

Always answers, helps and rallies.. 


There's power in His name

Not just a tired cliche

But His grace freely flowing

Brings wisdom and inspiration - touche.. 


So we can rise in His power

Legions of angels fighting for us

Jehovah Gibbor our leader

His blood shield on us.. 


Stand strong my wayfarer

The Lord fights on our behalf

We are over comers

In His name, the Name our Rod and Staff..

  Time talks       21.8.2024 How does the evening steal the light?  As age creases our faces The days fly, the moments unending In our times and our spaces.. We pass this way but once Time and tide wait for none A moment as a lifetime Bitter, sweet, painful, fun… We spend our days here on the earth Thoughtlessly, more often than not And when life catches up with us Find our peace lost.. Trends change, fashion comes full circle What once was will soon be And the clock ticks softly or loud As we move onto eternity.. Wrinkles and lines crease our faces No amount of airbrushing can help No elixir of youth Been discovered yet.. But, waiting on Him renews our strength We can fly on eagles’ wings Steady and strong, run and walk As sure as the song of the wind.. His word renews our inner man Is life and health and strength We can drink and eat and be refreshed He is our shield and help.. Look to Him and be radiant! He is the Author of our Faith! Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus And keep on running

  This morning.               I saw a shooting star this morning  whizzing over my head 'I'm God's amazing wonder' Yelled the meteor as he sped. I heard a birdie serenading the dawn Chirps and trills of joy 'His eye is on me' he sang out loud The notes brimming with hope. I saw the mahua tree this morning Flowers dropping heavy with juice 'Its time for us to do our thing' they said Sweet fragrance distilling with the dew.           I saw rocks and hills this morning           Steady and unyielding           Whispering 'He is THE rock           On Him you will never be shaken' I saw the greatest miracle at dawn The stars bowing off the stage The eastern sky glowing pink Our good old earth had turned.  His hand, I saw, this morning This day, already written in His book His still small voice "my child, take courage, I am in control'.  I find myself in a knot right now Circumstances and folks beyond my control 'Lift your eyes,' He sa

 Intrusive thoughts 21.9.2024 Saw it this morning It got embedded in my brain And it's sitting there gross and gloating And coming up again and again..  The images get worse Can't get them to stop Horrid and haunting And my mind's getting lost..  Swallowing my tablet Sweet relief in a bit Short lived, nevertheless relief Rescue from the slimy pit..  Welcome my friend To the world of intrusive thoughts Sick, unrelenting My mind feels trapped and caught..  The obsessions, the anxiety The low moods and depression Doggedly tail me With their weird symptoms..  ‘Jesus, distract my mind Give me alternative thoughts Help me, save me from this death trap You're all I've got.. ‘ And He answers through eternity ‘ child I'm fighting for you Not a hair of yours can fall I'm taking you through.. ‘ ‘Dark and rough path But I hold your hand tight,  Rest in my arms, find your peace and rest Up ahead is the light.. ‘ Lisa Choudhrie
