This
poem came to me one night as I
was laying in bed, thoughts
whirling around in my head about
all the trials and tribulations
we were going through in our
lives at that time. I know
it was given to me to reassure
me, and all my readers, that,
not matter what the
circumstances that are
surrounding us may say, God has
given us the armour and weapons
to withstand all these trials
and tribulations, and all the
wiles the enemy may try to use
to make us give up and doubt our
faith in God. Please, as
you read this poem, think
carefully about what it says,
and may it bring you the comfort
and reassurance it has given me.
SLUMBER IN
PEACE
"Slumber in
peace, my precious child,"
My Heavenly Father said to me,
"For from all sickness,
suffering, fear and pain,
My beloved Son came to set you
free."
"He died so that you could be
forgiven
For all your grievous shame and
sin,
Then His Spirit He sent to dwell
in you,
So your new life with Me could
begin."
"Daily put on the armour I have
given you
So all of Satan's wiles you can
withstand,
For you do not fight against
earthly foes,
But against the host of darkness
you must stand."
"Put on the girdle of truth each
day
To guard every word that you
speak,
And may the shoes of peace guide
your every step
To the hungry, needy and weak."
The helmet of salvation is what
I've given you
To protect your mind from every
evil thought,
And my breastplate of
righteousness will guard your
heart
Until you join Me in My Heavenly
Court."
Faith in Me is the shield you
need
To ward off your enemies' blows,
And My Word is the sword I've
given you
So you can defeat all your
dastardly foes."
So, rest in Me, my blessed
child,
Until My Son comes to claim His
Bride,
For He will some day soon, you
may be sure,
To take you home to reign by His
side."
