In His Hands

I just came across this poem that i had scribbled in my diary sometime this year.. not sure where i got it from, but it is certainly a tremendous encouragement to me at this very moment now, as i leave my prayer request at the throne room of heaven..

In His Hands
By: Betty Purser Patten

We know not what tomorrow brings
Although we plan ahead
For only God alone can know
The pathway we must tread

We cannot know the future
Not one minute nor one hour
Each circumstance that we must face
Lay only in His power



It's vital that we live by faith
From minute unto minute
And trusting that each step we take
He's walking with us in it

We cannot see the future
Nor the trials we must face
But in all things, God has promised us
Sufficiency of His grace

This alone should give us hope
Whatever be our plans
In knowing that our future lies
In His sweet and loving hands.
