Having God at the Helm

John 17:15-20

His prayer was not to take the apostles out,
Rather keep them from evil with no doubt;
For they were not of this world just as He,
Was not and prayed to God to hear His plea;
Make them holy according to the true Word,
For the Word of God isn't artful or blurred;
For even as God sent Christ into this world,
Christ sent them out as a plan is unfurled;
And for the apostles, He made himself holy,
So they too would be made holy thoroughly;
For His prayer was not just for only them,
Rather all to have faith for not to condemn.
Christ was compassionate to all that knew,
The Word and what He preached was true;
Having faith in the Word gives you strength,
To walk through this life at a great length;
Without it you feel if there's just no hope,
Then your stress builds not able to cope;
Remember that nothing will ever overwhelm,
Sailing a sea of life with God at the helm.
