THIS, IS MY LIFE! (POEM)
Here is some encouragement in verse for whoever needs God’s help in one way or the other. As the featured scripture says, it is good to hope in God. Why? Because he is preserving us by His mercy and his steadfast love endures forever. Each new day gives us the opportunity to prove this again and again. And if there are lingering issues, we don’t run helter skelter, we hold onto God till He comes through for us. And He will!

THIS, IS MY LIFE!
Waiting …
Waiting for the darkness to turn to light
Trusting …
Trusting that You’ll come through for me
Praying …
Praying that I cling to You without wavering
Hoping …
Hoping that I will soon see that new day
This, is my life!

God is ever faithful, he is always there to help us
God will never fail to fulfill his promises in our lives. Those who wait on him should not relent or waver because he will greatly reward us.
Yes, He will! We can always count on Him.
Our creator Is ever ready to help us anytime we need him. All we have to do is obey his words, pray hard and wait patiently for his answers. We should not panic because Jesus never fails. Praise God!!!
Well said, Chisom! Bless you!
God bless me with a miracle.

Inspirational indeed, God never fails.
True. Those who wait on Him will never be disappointed. Bless you, Ezinne!
Encouraging, heart warming and confidence that things will get better and what we hope for shall come to fulfillment. trusting and relying on God for accomplishment. we should not always lose hope in life but persevere or be steadfast in God to achieve what we desired. but in doing that, we should be sincere in serving God unconditionally so that he will be closer to us in any situation we see ourselves.
Yes, serving God sincerely is important, not just using Him like a vending machine. Bless you!
As humans, we face many adversities in life but we have to trust in God and hope for better days to come.
And He will not disappoint us. Halleluyah!
exactly! “praying I cling to you without wavering” this poem is really my life.
My brother, we shall overcome! Amen in Jesus’ name.
God will actually see us through if we trust Him. He knows all our problems, what he needs from us is trust and obedience
Reminds me of the song that says, “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” Bless you, Chiamaka!
giving up is never an option
Yes oh! Because there is God. Glory to His name.
This is from a heart that is full of hope and assurance believing that no condition is permanent
We should learn how to wait, trust, pray and hope onto God till he comes through for us.
And He never fails! Bless you, Levi!
This is a poem of trust and hope. Even when we feel there is no way for achieving something, there is still that hope that God would make a way
Am so motivated by this poem. One day, the long stream of tears shall be cut off. It’s. really a comforting one…nice work
Life is full of struggles but with these inspiring words, we can keep on till the end because the mercy of God abideth forever on his faithful.
Waiting upon God is really the best. When you can’t do anything else, you pray, when it seems that all hope is lost, keep on trusting Him. This should be bedrock of every believer.
You have to pray and trust God that one day things will turn around for good.
waiting for the Lord is always the best option because he is ready to see us through in every situation and his grace is always sufficient to turn our darkness to light.
no matter my situation, i still have hope and i will patiently wait for God’s time to come because a patient dog eats the fattest bone. And i believe that i will get more than i require when the time comes.
Always trust in GOD no matter the situation because he will surely see you through. He can change your story in a twinkle of an eye.
waiting leads to trusting while trusting leads to praying and praying leads to hoping. this is what someone needs in his or her life to be successful as a believer in Christ.
i like the way your language was simple and as a reader i can easily connect to what you’re saying. i look forward to your new posts.
it’s a wonderful peom
it’s a poem that gives hope to life and d bible passages make it more understandable.
The poem “this is my life” inspires a person to understand life concepts as waiting,hoping,praying,trusting is used to convey a message of a typical life style.
A poem that spurred out of hope, trying not to be overtaken by situations that seem overwhelming and clinging to God’s words on his time. Lam 3 :26 Nice.
the poem entails the struggle which one faces in life, and believing in God to deliver us from hardship. so one can thrive and be successful in one’s endeavors.
Oh my life, l will that you be directed to God so that his care will be directed to you in response. May we trust Him that we may receive His kindness. Pursuance of salvation is the good life. Wish you persevere mum.
I hope nothing diverts my hope from my God and your hope too. He is trustworthy. Never disappointing. It is my prayer that we wait for Him with hope. bless you, mum.
Bless you too, my dear!
God is ever faithful.never give up,be patient and wait for he never forsakes his people
praying and hoping is the wing that keep people flying in life as every one need hope for better days ahead ‘
Our help comes from the lord who made heaven and earth.believing and trusting in him is the key,while perseverance is the solution
The Lord is also my portion. I love your poems! And I also believe that we should all cling to the Lord because only he would sustain us through the rough times.
The lovingkindness of our heavenly father beats all imagination, hence the need for our unwavering trust and commitment to him. HE sees, hears and feels whatever tribulation we pass through.
This poem is written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The poem is full of hope and aspiration. The first line is aspiring for the light to shine and after the light, trusting on God for the prayers made. Hoping and praying to meet and cling to God’s compassionate love. Hoping to see that new day will be a thing of joy and encouragement.
Prayer and faith in God are the keys to a succesful life. I thank God for this poem.
it is indeed a nice poem. Waiting for God’s time is the best. when we Trust in HIM, HE provides all our needs. When we pray to HIM, he answers. Though, your prayers may not be granted immediately but believe that he is waiting for the appropriate time to fulfill it. we should also hope in GOD, for when u hope in him your life will be so interesting. I really love the poem bcos its so inspiring. Kudos to u Ma
A very good message that prepares us about our journey of life

Life is full of struggles but when we trust and hope in God life will be much easier for us.
This poem really inspires me because ever since I was born, God has been so kind to me. Although sometimes I do face some challenges, but due to the fact that I have patience, trust and pray a lot, I have been able to conquer it all with the help of God.
.one thing i learnt from this poem is to hold on to my faith and cling to God no matter the situation,God is a merciful father and will surely come to my aid at the due time.ma i cannot thank you enough for inspiring me once more.
This is a tonic for depressed and lethargic souls caught up in the doldrums of life. There is a silver lining in the dark gloomy skies. Thank you ma for the inspirational works
This is a very good message that talks about our everyday life with God. still waiting, trusting and hoping on God for more of the things we need.
I feel this poem is talking to me.I feel inspired. I do not regret reading it.
By giving your life to Christ, you need to trust in him and always pray, then hope that he sees you through your daily life.
This poem is inspirational and is certainly like refreshing water for a weary one. Good one!
Put your trust in the Lord with all your heart and he will forever reign in your life
It is good to wait on God for his miracle because he is the only one that can do all things.
I love this poem because I feel like the writer was able to view life from two standpoints: standpoint of God the creator looking down on us during our pains and standpoint of a true Christian during the time he or she is passing through hardships. the writer was able to do this by using words like Wait, Trust, Pray, and hope. these words to me are exactly what God demands from us anytime he looks at us during hard times. He looks down at us and sees us hurting and says, “wait, I have something better for you, just trust me, keep praying and hoping”. Another standpoint these words, Wait, Trust, Pray, and hope describe, is that of a good Christian who willingly decides to wait on God, trust God, Pray and still place his hopes on God especially during moments he sees himself passing through valleys and shadows of death. Generally, I will say that this is a Good poem that portrays the character of a good Christian and God’s expectations from us at the same time.
I’m not going to rush things. I will pray and let him bless me when he wants to.
Trust in the Lord and He will never let you down. GOD BLESS YOU MA.
This is an inspirational one. We should always trust, hope and wait on the Lord because in his own time, he will reward us bountifully. Halleluiah!!!
those who wait on God will never be dissapointed
What an encouragement. More power to your elbow!
Its one good thing to know that we have an undying hope that he is always there for us.
God had already shed His glory on our ways. All we have to do is to trust and have faith in Him because He has never failed and He will never fail. Thank you so much Ma for this wonderful poem
Put your trust in God for he will never let you down
I will keep holding unto God until He will come through for me.

I’m hoping to see God face to face some day.
Nice poem ma.
For me, hope in Christ is the strongest pillar every Christian should cling on. Is only Jesus that knows what our tomorrow will be like. We have to put our trust in Him and He will visit us at His perfect time.
Waiting, trusting, praying and hoping are great qualifications to get God’s attention and receive from him. Only that this time I’d rather choose to Believe instead of hoping.
Wow just in few lines ma you powerfully captured the totality of life’s reality, this is incredible. Thank you ma
