EVER STRONGER

O Heavenly Father,

My soul thirsts for You ever

For You are my creator and living water

Sustaining me through each and every day

Wiping all my sins and tears away

How I long to see You face to face

And kneel before You with songs of praise

For You are my hope and my salvation

Hear now this my humble midnight confession

Though I am at my lowest ebb

By Your Word I am forever fed

For You are my rock and my life

Delivering me from the enemy’s lies

Healing my wounds by Your great grace

In You is all my hope and faith

So I am cast down no longer

You, O God, make me ever stronger!

As Your love pours into me like waves

A steadfast reminder that

my Jesus saves!

Amen

“Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!”

Psalm 31:24 ESV

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
