“I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10

WHEN I SAY, “I AM A CHRISTIAN … “

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I am saved”
I’m whispering “I get lost!”
“That is why I chose this way.”

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed
and will better live my life to pay the debt.

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I’m worth it.

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek God’s name.

When I say … “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know that I’m loved.

The only way to make a difference is to be different!

THE PRAYER OF FAITH by Hannah More Kohaus

God is my help in every need;
God does my every hunger feed;
God walks beside me, guides my way
Through every moment of the day.

I now am wise, I now am true,
Patient, kind and loving too.
All things I am, can do, and be
Through Christ, the Truth that is in me.

God is my health, I can’t be sick;
God is my strength, unfailing, quick;
God is my all, I know no fear,
Since God and Love and Truth are here.

BEGINNING AGAIN by Frank B. Whitney

It matters not what may befall;
Beyond all else I hear the call
“You can begin again.”
My courage rises when I hear
God’s voice allay the thought of fear
And when He whispers gently near,
“You can begin again.”

When once quite all the world seemed wrong,
Throughout its den I heard His song,
“You can begin again.”
An inner joy within me stirred,
I treasured each assuring word,
My heart was lifted when I heard,
“You can begin again.”

Begin again? Another chance?
Can even I make an advance?
“You can begin again.”
Begin at once by taking heart
And knowing God-of you He’s part!
New life to you He will impart!
“You can begin again.”

THE ANSWER by Lowell Fillmore

When for a purpose
I had prayed and prayed and prayed
Until my words seemed worn and bare
With arduous use,
And I had knocked and asked and knocked and
asked again,
And all my fervor and persistence brought no hope,
I paused to give my weary brain a rest
And ceased my anxious human cry.
In that still moment,
After self had tried and failed,
There came a glorious vision of God’s power,
And, lord, my prayer was answered in that hour.
