We Can Do It

I can do it

I repeat

As I push-pull, fall-crawl,

Struggle to my feet

I can do it

I insist

As I tug-slug-plug away

At life’s to-do list

I can do it

I assert

As I slip-trip, stumble-tumble

Through life’s dirt and hurt

I can’t do it

I admit

Not by myself. It’s just too hard

To make the pieces fit

 

So I pray...

Hope is no fraud

Come what may

We can do it, whispers God

God may not always look like we think He should, 

but He comes to us in daily reminders of who He is 

if we look and listen...

Ask, and it will be given you.

Seek and you will find.

Knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, 

and he who seeks finds, 

and to him who knocks it will be opened.… Matt. 7:7-8

Look around. Who can we help to help ourselves? 

Who can we touch to feel the love of God? 

Who can we pray for to hear Him? 

Who can we laugh or weep with to see Him?
