God of My Tomorrows

Here's a poem I wrote years ago when I had no idea what would happen next in my life.  I wrote it at a time when I had so many uncertainties.  I chose to embrace the grace of God instead of letting my uncertainties sow seeds of doubt in my heart.

I'm sharing it today in my blog today because I'm at a point in my life now when there are many new opportunities coming my way.  They are all good but as with many new things, they bring with them many uncertainties as well. Today, I choose to surrender once more my future, my endeavors, plans and dreams to God.

This poem was inspired by my meditations on Jeremiah 29:11-14 and Judith 9:5-6.   I wrote it on December 29, 2004 and was eventually published in my book When My Bridegroom Comes in 2005.  I find comfort in these words every time I'm confronted with uncertainty about my future.   I hope it would inspire others who are in the same boat.

God of My Tomorrows

I woke up one morning

Not knowing where to run

Stumbling in the darkness

Groping for the sun

God, where is tomorrow?

I asked, "What lies ahead?"

My heart filled with sorrow

These questions in my head

Then you came with answers

I've waited for so long

You brought light and meaning

Now I can sing this song

Your hand guided all that happened

Everything was part of your plan

Past, present, what is yet to come...

Who am I to challenge your wisdom?

Who am I to question your plan?

Your Word, once spoken, is as good as done

Now all my tomorrows

Are in your mighty hands

You who hold the future

Now also hold my hand
