We don’t know what to do,

My poem today is based on King Jehoshaphat prayer in 2 Chronicle.

Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12

We don’t know what to do, 

But our eyes are on you. 

In you Father we take refuge

For the battle belongs to you. 

 

When troubles enlarge and fear engulfs 

When suffering creeps in and pain cripples

When anger grips and bitterness grows

When all efforts fail and hope falters 



We don’t know what to do, 

But our eyes are on you. 

In you Father we take refuge

For the battle belongs to you. 



When sorrow fills and the tears rapidly flow

When the body gives and the bones in agony grind

When the mind is confused and thoughts confound 

When family fights and friends fly 



We don’t know what to do, 

But our eyes are on you. 

In you Father we take refuge

For the battle belongs to you.

Paul wrote: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, Read more...

      What does it mean to have childlike faith?

      What do you think of when you hear the word “childlike?”For many of us, “childlike” might bring to mind something immature, foolish, or naive. Yet when Jesus talked about childlike faith, he wasn’t asking us to be any of these things. He was inviting us into something pure, trusting, and real. This week, I got to help lead worship at a kids' camp. Watching the kids worship was such a beautiful reminder of what childlike faith truly looks like. These kids worshiped, prayed, and talked about God.
