The Trust Rope

The Trust Rope

Written by Brooklyne

Sometimes I view my trust in God as a rope

It stretches from God to me

And it is what I cling to for hope 

My "trust rope" might grow taunt or even fray 

It might take all my strength to hang on 

But I have to remember to trust and obey

Having trust means to rely 

Relying in God for everything can be hard

But God is patent and wants us to try

Our God is so great and just

He is our Rock and Fortress

In Him I put my trust!

Since I didn't write a poem last week, I am sharing one with you now. 

Blogging is flexible like that, right? :)

I wrote this poem when I was thirteen or fourteen years old. It might not be the best written or rhyming poem, but just read the words. I think we all can be reminded that we can have hope in our trust rope. 

I am at a place in my life that it seems as if everything is happening at once, that everything is changing and moving so fast. I can hardly keep up with it all. But that's where I go wrong. It's not up to me to keep up with it all, it's up to me to trust Him with it all.

 For me, trusting is hard, because that means letting go. 

Letting go of the worries, the fears, the stress. 

Letting go is not as easy as it sounds, because you have to choose to let go. Giving God everything and trusting is a struggle for me, and I am no where close to having it figured out. I am trying, and I am learning, but that is where I am at. My Papa says sometimes, "If you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on tighter." 

Have you ever felt like you are at the end of your rope? What are some ways that you deal with stress? Because, I know by experience, chocolate doesn't fix problems! How can we strengthen our "Trust Rope?" Thank you for reading, and lets talk in the comments! 

P.S. Sorry my picture is blurry! Oh well... :D
