Poem-lets on The Unknown...



Image source:  longpauses.com

We cannot see the Unknown
It looms, dark and large
But we are not alone
And God is in charge

 ***
What lies ahead?
We cannot tell
But with God at the lead
It will be well

***

The unknown persists
An unyielding sky
But mankind exists
Beneath God's watchful eye

***

My faith is scarce
Half a mustard seed
But God knows and cares
For every need

***

The Unknown presides
But one thing I know
God’s Presence abides
Wherever I go

Psalms 139
4 Before a word is on my tongue
   you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
   and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
   too lofty for me to attain...

 23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
   test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
   and lead me in the way everlasting.
