This is excellent, debi. All lines are comforting and spiritual, well written and rhymed, but these are my favorites:
"He soothes my faint and troubled heart
And lets me know that I am part
Of His most grand and great design
That His pure love is surely mine"

Thank you, Marilyn. Again, I didn't expect a review since I don't have anything active. I have several things ready to go, but no time to get them posted and then follow up on reviews. Hopefully, work will slow down in a few weeks. It is so sweet of you to go back and find this one. It's been awhile since I've looked at it myself.

Hi Debi. It's a practice of mine to go back and read poems of others that I enjoy, particularly positive, upbeat, poetry that gives a spiritual lift. Marilyn

I love the the very strong message of love and faith. You lines are expertly crafted creating a very tight meter. The flow is fantastic. Another great poem from you:)
Nicely done.

The One who calms the seething sea
Still reaches out to comfort me .. oh, Amen! What a comforting, blessed assurance.
Me too, Debi - I shall!
Your lovely quatrains lifted my spirits. What a wonderful way to end my day.
God bless you, dear. Have a lovely Sunday.

Hi Sonali,
I appreciate the review, especially since I don't have anything active at the moment.
Finding such a sweet message really brightens my Sunday morning. Thank you so much. I am so pleased that you liked it. God bless you, too.

Comment from Joy Graham
Lovely and thought-filled quatrains. I like the picture, puts the reader in a reflective mood to read. I often need to be reminded to count my blessings and not get caught up in the things I don't have. I love to see faith poetry on this site. It helps me get centered.

Hi Joy,
So nice of you to stop by, especially when I haven't posted anything in a while and you aren't getting much in points or member bucks. I took Brooke's class on story poems and chose to write on a topic that turned out to be more complex than I bargained for so it has taken me all month to complete it.
Thank you so much for the encouraging review. I appreciate the kind comments.
Comment from adewpearl
solid rhyming couplets
good use of enjambment
effective alliteration in dark despair
good alliteration and assonance in seething sea
I like the way you come full circle in your closing of this compelling poem of faith :-) Brooke

Comment from GracieAnn
w.j., this is a God-honoring write that has balanced a-a-b-b rhymes in each quatrain. It relays biblical truth in a creative and readable way. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Debi - your faith and spiritual message is strong. Your word choices also impart that deeper knowing of your path. I found this well penned and expressed your inner faith of all God is to you. Nicely done my friend.
Thanks for sharing it.

"...I shall be with you always...) The promise that will always be with us. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.
