Most Commented Religion / Spirituality Poems (1,340)

For today i know my father was
watching over me.
He knew what i needed before
i even knew.
This morning something
happened with my car that
could not be fixed
by a resident i work for.
He fixes all kinds of cars but
mine would not.
I left with a broken spirit
praying as i went home having
faith that God would help me.
I pulled into a gas station
that i normally do not go
and someone behind me says
what wrong with your car?
I can fix that if you
give me a try.
God answered my prayer
right there he fixed my
car for he worked
at the car college.
Just think if my faith
had not told me to let
him try i would not have
had my prayers answered.
God is so gracious and kind.
He answers our prayers all
we have to do is ask him to.

Dealth has taken it's course
yet i stand here so serene.
Majestically the Lord watches
over me.
He put me in this place for
all to see how he has always
watched over me.
The cross stands here instead
of me yet all know i am in
heaven with God watching
over thee.
This cross is the symbol for
the love God shows on thee
when he died for you and me.
Just look on me and you will
know God loves you.
He will always show you the
way if you get on your
knees and pray.

I was astonished, firstly that he spoke, for I had never heard another creature speak and secondly that now you wanted me to eat the fruit. I must have appeared to be dubious for he quickly continued.

“God realised that he was being unfair, that he should also let you enjoy this fruit.”

On and on he continued and my resistance crumbled. If Serpent said that God wanted us to eat this fruit then we had better obey; after all it had to be true.

Serpent handed me the fruit and I, unsuspectingly, took it. It smelt so good. One last smell and then I bit into it. The taste was indescribable. I had to wipe the juices of my chin. I wanted to take another bite but I thought that I better take the rest to Adam.

At first he was horrified but after I explained all to him he realised we were doing what you wanted. After all you had sent Serpent to give us the message. It was then Adam took a bite.

It was the next day, God, when you came roaring through the garden. You cursed us for eating the fruit and twice cursed me, blaming me for leading Adam astray. I had done nothing wrong, only done what I thought you wanted. I was deceived by the Serpent, but you did not want to know.

You banished us from the garden. Not only did you curse us but you cursed all our descendants. Why God? We had done nothing wrong, yet you would not listen.

You created everything, the universe, us, the animals and yes, even the Serpent. You created the evil that led us astray by using words of honey, telling me that he spoke for you.

You created the evil and then you blame us. We listened to words we believed came from you. Does this make it our fault? No! most emphatically no. god you set us up to fail.

The fault God really lies with you. You knew what would happen when you created the Serpent, yet you still went ahead. The fault really is yours. It is not too late to correct the wrong that you did to us.

Take back the curse and remove the evil from this world. You can twist and shape words any way you like but the truth remains. You created the evil and allowed it to attack us.

That’s all I have to say God.

The night sky looms in
like a soft veil
draping over trees along the
trail.
Clouds seem to drift silently
but speak volumes of heavenly tales.
A twinkle of light dances in the night
the air cool blowing from left to right.
Walking delicately to the crunch of stone
it's noise and feel gave a shuddering tone.
Suddenly a flash of light split the dark of night
coming from the crimson sky. A cloud billowed and
fumed and blinded my eye.
I fought to see as I fell clumsily as I scraped my knee.
A voice spoke unto me so soft and whimsically
" Be not afraid I come because you asked me"
I asked, "who thou art that cometh unto me?"
The voice responded rather prominently
" I am the love you seek so diligently"
" The hope of your salvation you pray for endlessly"
I said unto the voice "How do I know for sure that you
are the cure?"
The voice asked "Why do you not trust me? Have ye little faith?
"I am" sent me unto you to bring healing to a world split
in two.
I asked how is that so and tell me what you know?
"Silly fool can you not see the conflict in thee?
Fear, doubt, and shallow words of love fills the air most abundantly"
Consider your brothers and sisters you see, who pen their plea.
Hear their cries their tears fill their eyes.
Yet, none do much to reach out to what their heart may see.
Oh they write their petititions most eloquently and make them
sound very romantically protesting their vanity.
Yet they may dream of many possibilities they do not wish to
try to make it their reality.
Many have lost their way their faith is clouded by the troubles
of the day.
So much pain it's enough to make anyone insane.
Oh per chance to dream again of a simple day
To hear the laughter and joy of children at play
They neither toil or spin they just learn to dance
a different way.
I asked the voice " Won't you please stay and teach me
and others a better way?
The voice replied, "For over 2000 years I have tried
yet few chose to listen. Hence, the time will come
when the last tear they cry they shall open their eyes
come the last day only to see their error of their way.
Lo' I come like a thief in the night in a holy light
many shall be blinded of sight.
Many shall be lifted to the seat at my right Others
will be considering their plight.

I was asked by a man sitting at the bus stop
If you could have one power, what would it be?

I replied I wish that I could make all of time stop
That way everything would stay as I see.

I can feel the earth start to tremble
And the waves are crushing the shore

I was told that our soul is just a thimble
It only protects us from our core.

So... follow me down to the place where things stay still
And where people have no will

The world is still beautiful
If only I were in control.

I would save everything as it is...
We could stay like this...

Frozen in time, forever.

The whisper
the chatter
all around as the worship
continues if on this ground.
The friendship develop from
soul to soul as God helps
you reach His goal.
I listen quietly waiting
to see what new things the
Lord wants to teach me.
The noise becomes louder
until i can listen and just
be present here with God.
He pulls us closer then
a friend
a brother
a sister
until the end.
God will bond those that
need to be.
He will set you with your
christian family until
E T E R N I T Y.

For the strong shall
rise at this time of
need look to God to
lead them out of
negativity into the
path of the
positivity and the
promised land.
For he is always going
to forgive you
show you the way.
Just bow on your
knees and pray.
For God is your
father; fellow
christians are your
brothers & sisters.
Lift each other up
rejoicing in the
Lord's name AMEN!!

For my knee is hurting
just a little you see.
For i can hardly
bend at the knee.
The pain goes from
thigh to toes it
makes you want to
come to your knees
and pray to God.
For God knows
how it is today.
You scream to him
and say Lord why
are you making it
this way today.
Oh Lord i give
to you my pain
so i may gain
wisdom in my
time of need.
For i need you
yes in deed.

Faith comes through focusing on
J e s u s
reaching toward his loving arms.
Where he will carry me through
Where he will always be
There he is waiting for me.
He will always love me
and keep me safe.
Showing me the way
that i must go
where he wants
to lead me.
For his name sake

In late April 2011,I was struck by the urge to again write poetry,dormant since high school,save for one occasion.I had already committed myself,the previous fall,to being baptized in the ocean when the waters warmed up.Perhaps,just perhaps,He already knew I was His and decided to bless me.I did not know what was going on,I began to think I was having emotional problems until I realized the emotions were all positive.I then went to my deacon friend,mentor and neighbour.The poem explains the rest.I am a skeptic but know beyond doubt that the holy spirit is real.If the holy spirit is real then so is the rest of His wonderful truth.God bless

The Gift (Written in early may 2012)

A year ago I had met his spirit
While writing but had to fear it,
For I did not know it was Him,
I thought sanity was growing dim.

Several times I had been fearful,
Why should writing be so tearful,
Then I asked my spiritual mentor,
He said it's the Spirit of our Creator.

My pastor smiled while concurring,
I said I'm nobody,why's it occurring,
He said that's why He chose you,
You have His gift to share too.

I fell on my knees surrendering all,
Asking Him to lift me when I fall,
His love grew more with each word,
I typed the message that I heard.

Over months my fear then abated,
I felt extreme love that He created,
But lingering doubts held me back
I feared Satan was on the attack.

Then one day right out of the blue,
Knowing my doubt of sanity grew,
He split my feelings from His own
So I'd realize the love He'd shown.

The Holy Spirit has been my friend,
And shown me life has no end
If you will choose to follow His path,
But choosing sin incurres His wrath.

So all who doubt what I now write,
When you have to behold His sight,
What will you say before the Judge
If He condemns and will not budge.
