God be with You

Joshua 1:9

Be strong of good courage and not afraid,
For God is with you so be not dismayed;
He goes anywhere and everywhere you go,
Along the way His blessings will bestow;
Knowing that God is with you every hour,
Is a mental stimulus of tremendous power;
When received and retained inside of you,
Builds courage for obstacles to discontinue;
Wondering if words can accomplish so much?
Then Jesus hasn't entered your life as such;
Nothing would dispirit or cause you despair,
As long as you take it to God in prayer;
Never try to carry the burden on your own,
God never expects you to face things alone;
Just never squelch your mental creativity,
Or try looking with too much objectivity;
A new mental concept has a lot of potential,
Changed lives are more than circumstantial;
So look towards God on what is to become,
Beware of an idea whose time has yet come.
