Today's poem was taken from today's "Jesus Calling."

I AM YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR SHIELD

I am your strength and your shield
I plan your day before you arise
I'm more involved in your life,
Far more than you realize.

I am you strength and your shield
Worry is useless, you see,
I know all that you need,
So bring all your problems to Me.

I am your strength and your shield
Don't let fear creep into your heart.
Remember I'm always here
And I shall never depart.

I am your strength and your shield
That protects you from dangers unknown.
I am your rock and  deliver still
And I will carry you home!

WHEN YOU WALK THE PATH OF TRUST

When you walk the path of trust
You hold on to My hand
It's the pathway to heaven
And the promise land.

When you walk the path of trust
You will live above your circumstance
Life is not hopeless
You do not live by chance.

When you walk the path of trust
Your road may still hold some grief
But know I'm walking there
To bring you sweet relief.

When you walk the path of trust
You avoid the dark, dreary road
And you have Me by your side
To help you carry your life's load.

There's no problem-free life
So do not hope for one.
There's no problem-free life

There's no problem-free life
No short-cuts to spiritual growth
There's no problem-free life
But I will teach you to cope.

There's no problem-free life
No, there's no perfect dream.
There's no problem-free life
But you and I are a team.

There's no problem-free life
But my spirit dwells in you.
There's no problem-free life
But each day you can begin anew,

It's alright to be human, you see
And when you mind seems to wander
I'll gently return your attention to Me.

Your weaknesses are openings for which I can bless you
Rejoice in my love over all
And when you grow weary
I promise ti be there when you call.

Your weaknesses are openings for which I can bless you
Practice silence before Me.

And I want what is best for thee.

Your weaknesses are openings for which I can bless you
The light of my glory will shine through
Know I will strengthen your weakness
And I will always be with you!
