YOU ARE STILL GOD . """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" Written by S.C.Mitchell March 2020 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" O LORD my God - in the midst of these troubles - You are still God - You are still in control of the nations Of the world - You are still All-powerful - All-knowing - All- Merciful and kind - for You are Love - You are not surprised By the trials that come against the world - and You tell us - Your people - who are called by Your name - to humble Ourselves and pray - and You will hear from Heaven - Forgive our sins - and heal our land . Have mercy LORD - today . So LORD our God - forgive us where we have sinned Against You - in body - soul and spirit - forgive us when we Have neglected to be all - that You have asked us to be - in Thought - and word and deed - Have mercy on us LORD - and Wash us clean from all our hidden faults - and make us those Who stand for truth and peace in this world of deception And unrest - Forgive us LORD - we pray Dear LORD - where would we be if not for Your great Love for us ? - where would we be - if You had not paid the Price for us - to be redeemed back to the Father of our souls - Dear LORD - where would we be ? Where would we be if You had not risen from the Grave - and conquered Death and Hell - Where would we be ? Where would we be - if You had never shed Your Sinless blood - for us - to set us free - O God of Mercy - Where would we be ? Where would we be - indeed ? I know where I would be - if You - my God - Had not rescued me - from the pit of destruction - Sin and guilt - I know exactly where I'd be - In Hell - in torment - lost for all eternity . That's where I'd be . But - You my God - reached down into my Pit - and drew me out - before the grip of Death Could swallow me - You drew me to Your side - And washed me clean - and set my feet on Solid ground - You did all that and more For me . You did all that - for me So - thank You LORD my Saviour - for All that You have done - in making me a New creation - Your child - and Your Beloved - Who will always be Your own - saved by Faith in You - and in Your Word - for All eternity . I'm grateful LORD - Eternally .

In light of what is happening I penned the above poem / prayer , as an acknowledgement that God is still in control , and He will help all who call on Him in these troubled times .... as He did for me . My prayer for all who read my work is that they will experience the saving grace of the Saviour of the world , and then receive His mercy, love and peace and assurance of His nearness and protection during these uncertain times . God bless you all. In His love Stella xx Vote for this poem
