We all have those moments in our lives where we find it so easy to pray to the Lord and give praise. But then those ugly scenes of life show up. Will God still be glorified? Ask God today to give you strength and peace now, before the storms come.

Man Lost: a poem by Nicholl McGuire - YouTube
Created this poem with one objective: to remind the backslider he is falling and one day he won't be able to get up. From the unsaved to the reprobate, take notice.

What Can I Say?
What can I say?
It was about the month of May
took the time to pray.
I had so much that I needed to say.
The Lord seemed far away.
I still had no wedding day.
And I cried and wished and all I could do was pray.
Said he was going to see that I would live true
no longer would I feel so blue.
Had been told since I was a little child
"Call God," so he was the one I dialed.
Angry because things weren't right,
felt I wasn't living up to God's sight.
I had put up a fight for years and years.
Had been hiding behind all my fears.
Had full control over little, misplaced me,
but little did I know there was more to see.
Didn't realize the strength beyond the skies.
Too busy believing fools and their lies.
You see sometimes we think we know,
we think sometimes but we don't go
that extra mile after we dial
then wonder why we collapse after a mile.
We need the help of God's great, big hands
because we know the devil runs many lands.
So what I can I say
until my wedding day?
To keep reaching out and simply just pray.

1966 Counterfeit Blessing
Church folks promised a blessing
I needed one, I was stressing.
Hoped for something good,
but I somehow misunderstood
the part in the Bible
about Satan.
He too likes to go matin.'
He could do
similar things that could
make one's heart sing.
Pretend like he was Christ,
use God's words to entice.
On a date,
this one upset my fate.
One of my biggest mistakes!
Let down my guard
a backslider's thoughts retard.
"Now what was it that you just said?"
His clothes seemed to talk to me,
stood right in front of me,
"Forget what you read!
I don't dress in red.
Will give you good love,
let's go to bed?"
I thought my eyes were joking,
I started choking.
His black sweater vest
was nothing more than a test.
A false prophet said, "He's the one!"
But I had to disagree,
he reminded me of
a familiar enemy!
He planned for two sons or maybe just one,
talked about what he liked to do for fun.
A fatherless boy taught how to play mind games,
from someone accused of going insane.
A frustrated parent who couldn't manage
past actions that caused much damage.
The devil respected an upside down cross,
it was obvious this man was indeed loss!
Now about your thoughts on a son,
what about the mother...?
"Don't care if she runs, enough about him,
do you work out in a gym?"
He answered his own question,
Blind spiritual eyes,
but flesh he could see.
His conversation at times lost me.
Wasn't sure if he believed in the Trinity.
At one time he prayed to the one above.
A tat on his arm, "Could it be a dove?"
I took pause after pause
attempted to speak.
He looked at me like I was a freak!
Probably was too busy thinking,
"Let's play Hide-n-Seek."
I couldn't read minds, what did he want me to do?"
He said, "Oh, I've just been looking at you."
He wanted to recruit me, make me behave.
Then later turn me into his so-called sex slave.
He dressed the part, smiled real nice
still saying words to entice.
"No longer interested in talking to you!"
I thought.
But the tempter said, "You I have sought."
The devil had warned, "Watch what you do!
For everything God does I can do,
many are called, but chosen are few."

Christian: You got issues?
Time to deny yourself! Move your issues out of the way, so that you can help someone else.
