Selfminded

William brooks

Please forgive us Lord when we think in our mind that we know it all. We must realize we're running out of time and must answer God's call. How stubborn we are thinking we know best trying to lead our life. For it only causes a lot of stress without God nothing is precise. I'll do it on my own that is what we say I really think that I can. False state of mind even forgetting to pray yes destruction of man. There's no way out by doing it alone that is a true fact. Without the savior we'd be on our own so stop putting on an act.

About this poem

Sometimes we often forget who is running the show and want to make decisions on our own. That is when the grief comes into play.

    Amen to that, my friend! Your words hit home with the truth about our human tendencies to think we've got it all figured out when really, we need to heed God's call and surrender to His guidance. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of humility and recognizing our need for divine intervention in navigating life's challenges. Let's keep leaning on God's wisdom and grace, knowing that we're never truly alone when we have Him by our side. Your message carries a profound message of faith and surrender, reminding us all to trust in the higher power that guides us.
