Faith through Prayer

February 12, 2016 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Do you have faith in the Lord?
With love for all His people;
Showing how He is adored,
And knowledge of the Gospel.

I never stop thanking God,
For all of which He has done;
Giving Him honor and laud,
The Father giving His Son.

I remember in my prayer,
Thanking the Father for you;
Everything that we share,
And all the things that you do.

I pray that our Father,
The God of our Savior;
Gave His Son as a Brother,
Looks upon us with favor.

I pray He gives you spirit,
Of a revealing wisdom;
To know Christ in your merit,
For entering His Kingdom.

Then you will have the insight,
Knowing with the confidence;
Having a faith glowing bright,
In setting your precedence.

You will have glorious wealth,
In what you will inherit;
An improvement in your health,
Purged by the Holy Spirit.

You will know His blessedness,
Through compassion that towers;
And unlimited greatness,
Comes from His awesome powers.

That same power works through Christ,
When He was brought back to life;
And you will not be enticed,
Snarled in the toils and strife.

We preach Christ as as crucified,
A stumbling block for the Jew;
Though through God is satisfied,
Giving salvation to you.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.

My family is from one of the most hurricane-prone places in the United States—our hometown was virtually wiped from the map by Hurricane Katrina.
