Where do you put your trust, in man or in God...what trying times we're living in these days and seem so out of control...

Out of Control
 
All around us everything seems to be falling apart.
It appears out of control and really hurting our hearts.
There seems to be nothing we can do to stop the downhill spin.
Just sit back and observe not knowing the situation we are in.
 
We thought the new election would some how stop the turn.
But it seems worse than ever by its continued downhill churn.
We put trust in our government to solve what’s going on.
But they have their own agenda, not interested in our own.
 
Can’t they see if we go down, they will shortly follow?
It may take longer but through their own deeds they’ll wallow.
How do you stop your Government from casting unsavory votes?
Unfairly charging the tax payer who they seem to always choke.
 
They’ve laid a burden on all of us that we never are able to repay.
And it will go to our children’s children for the rest of their days.
Someone’s got to stop them, some super hero of some kind.
So every one of us can be at peace and end these trying times.
 
If these are the wonderful Golden years I was looking forward to.
I am very disappointed and downhearted not sure what to do.
I prefer to put all my trust in God not man for I know all he can do.
So if you’re spinning completely out of control, you can do it too.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

Trusting in the arm of the flesh is like relying on air in a balloon...when the balloon is popped there is nothing there to hold on to...

I truly believe that the only way out now is for all of us to finally get involved and get busy and start helping - something far too many have refused to do for a very long time now. Super Heroes are gone, and I believe God helps those who help themselves and others.

Wen one falls the only way we can stop our falling is to reach the down bottom, it will be wise to start making plans how we can climb back out the hole as we fall and not waste time with silly wailing of selfpity.

Hi Bonnie
By comparison, the "good old days" were certainly better. How we'll all move on is anyone's guess. I wonder what our grandchildren will be experiencing when they're our age. Be strong! Liz

I lay my trust in the Lord, because without him I would not be here without that faith, if we put our faith in the world then we are bound to find out the hard way. exactly what that does! We took God out of the Social Aspects of our life, out of the economic aspects and look whats happened. The Lord provides though, and that is where I am putting my hope, this write was spot on.
In Christs Love

My Faith is in our lord, he will lead the way to the happiness we are lacking today ~
Your honest true poem brings much to know and feel Bonnie, as you continue to always BELIEVE!
YOur message is clear and the picture is PERFECT!
Change takes TIME as we "MUST" continue to believe "WHY" our Lord moved in this direction for a Leader of his caliber!
UNITY is the Key we all NEED!
WRITE ON!
Thank you for sharing your OPEN Giving heart!

Let's remember that God was supposed to be in the WhiteHouse the past 8 years too...and our country went down into a black pitt that it has never been in before...and that is saying alot!!!! So... I do believe that God must be in control, and we must pray for HIM to guide us...however....those who are leading...those in that photo you post...are not men of God truly...because if they were...they would be LISTENING to HIM not to their pocketbooks!!!! So... Once again...we are in a terrible predicament!! The main problem here I believe, which is simple....is that... WE have placed that "magical answer" in the hands of a HUMAN BEING...and we have placed him on a pedestal that he cannot stay on...WE expect him to perform Miracles...We expect him to walk on Water....We expect him to solve all the problems in a few weeks....that took years to get here!!!! I am amazed at how loud everyone is yelling at what is happening today...when there was no yelling for 8 years....NEVER did anyone stand up and STOP the old president....did his saying he was a man of God make him a good leader??? NOOOOOOO! and now... once again...we are screaming and blaming...instead of standing together and writing our rep's and insisting that we will not vote for them again if they continue to vote for their own needs instead of ours!!!! Sorry, but this just pisses me off....and so... altho I understand all sides of this...I also know that sometimes we stand to one side and expect miracles...we speak with forked tongues.....and I am guilty too....but I'll speak and forever hold my peace...piece.... good writing tho... excellent actually.... hugs, lindalaw

Beautiful photo, and an eye-opening penning - without putting it all in God's hands, we'll never make it . . . a superb message!!

Pastor Mark spoke about this very thing today; it's high time we stop trusting mankind and put our hope and trust in God! He also talked about tithing, which I try to do on a regular basis. Very good write with a powerful, timely message! Well done, Bonnie; brava!
