Be Encouraged ©Dawn Minott | Mental Health Awareness

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Are you weighed down by past misfortunes

Thinking life’s but a game of luck and chances

Be not restrained by distresses from the past

Give God your today and tomorrows, in Him your plans will last

***

Be encouraged through your struggles

Let go of what you cannot change

New possibilities are abounding

Reset your target-range

***

When you can’t see beyond the pain, and tears your path obscure

Focus on the Almighty’s promises, know His words are sure

Know your steps are ordered, lined-up by His design

Though weapons formed they will not prosper, they’ll be realigned

***

Be encouraged through your losses

Wave sorrow and hurt good-bye

Take pleasure in life’s journey

Through valleys-deep and mountains-high

***

When the enemy comes against you, overwhelming as a flood

Know a banner has been raised, you’re covered by the blood

Lean not on your own understanding, trust God with all your heart

Welcome each new day’s dawning, as your chance to restart

***

Be encouraged through each downfall

The good will outweigh the bad

Count the blessings, not the shortfalls

Then there’ll be no room for sad
