Strength through Dependence

Psalm 86:1-3

I ask God to answer for I'm poor and needy,
To save my soul as I'm godly, not greedy;
To put all my trust for being His servant,
Asking of Him for His mercy for I'm reliant.
I pray to our God for His mercy and grace,
Within a nicely secluded and quiet place;
Asking Him for His help keeping me aligned,
With the plans for me that He has assigned;
Being poor is not about money for wealth,
Not always will money give you good health;
I know that I am dependent for everything,
His blessings make me rich fit for a king;
My faith and trusting in Him makes me rich,
Even more than what Bill Gates can enrich;
As God's children we have more treasure,
Than everything known of earthly pleasure;
As His servant who is trusting and faithful,
He'll care for me since I'm not deceitful;
Knowing that beyond this life of my reward,
By continuing in obedience in His Holy Word.
