  Marcia's Poem of the week 11-25-2022 “IN TIMES OF TROUBLE”  Psalm 20:1-9 NLT Key verse: Psalm 20:1.“In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from harm.” And our list of to do's is found in Micah 6:8 where it says “To do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with our God.” “IN TIMES OF TROUBLE ” Psalm 20:1-9 NLT When you feel ignored, Or, when you feel every slight, Just commune with the Lord, With all of your might. God has a list of to-do's, That can make miracles happen, And He'll see you through, For your prayer is His passion. You may think you can't try, But the Lord knows better, He will answer your cry, And put all things together. Your love's nothing less, Than that which is good, As you worship and rest, In His Word as you should. He is never too far away, And He'll love you through, With more blessings each day, Know His miracles come true. Marcia Riehle...
