Pebbles to a Mighty God

Pebbles to a Mighty God

By Rachel Fagan for Naqah and Naqiy Schepp

What to do? How to live? Who to be and when?

Can we open our hearts

When we’re not sure they’d let us in?

What is standing? What is being?

We feel this tying and long for freeing.

Feeling stuck, to say the least,

Starving, looking for the feast.

I read them once:

Words that changed it all.

They said “Don’t be afraid

Even if you fall,

Talk it out with the Lord of peace

Pray and give thanks

And you’ll find release.”

The weights that depress that heart of yours

Are not what they seem,

They are nothing more

Than pebbles to a mighty God

Who, yet in His strength,

Knows the path you trod.

So open your heart to the peace you’ll find

When you lay all your worries

Before a King who is kind.

He’ll keep you safe

And never betray you,

You’re His princess

To you He’ll stay true.

I’ve heard it said so many times:

Love casts out fear

When fear blurs the lines.

Along with this truth it is defined

That true love is patient and unfailingly kind.

I, myself, have found this to be true.

I find the greatest freedom when I love God and love you.

You and I are equally special,

To a mighty God who makes gems out of pebbles.
