Dear God
by Jennifer Harman, Age 20
Send this page to a friend
Dear God,
In the midst of the storm, I will praise you. When I am worn down, broken, and defeated, I will uplift your name. When I am tormented by evil on all sides, there is only one place I can turn. You are my shelter and strength -- my only help in the time of trouble. Although I am weak and my sins bear heavily upon me, I will rejoice because you are greater. Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Although I can't see the end of this trial, I believe that through you there will be victory at the end. In you I will boast and in you I will put my trust. Though I am weak, you are strong! The darkness cannot overcome Your light! Lord, strengthen me so that I might be a light to this dark world,
Jennifer

Faithful Friend
by Jennifer Harman
I don't need to see any miracles.
I've been blessed with so many before.
And just look at creation outside my door!
Need I say anymore?
Oh, but so much more can be said
about a God so faithful and true!
Just when I think my chances are through,
only You refresh my strength anew.
Your constantly by my side,
even when my foolish eyes disbelieve.
I'm sorry for the many times your spirit I have grieved.
But I thank you greatly for your promise to never leave.
I could go on forever
about Your faithfulness to me.
Instead I'll just say thanks to the blessed Trinity.
Thanks for loving and accepting even someone like me.

(Note: Jennifer's story is featured in the book, “Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life”. Just after Jennifer's high school graduation, she dove into a lake and hit the bottom at three feet deep and broke her neck. Jennifer shares her honest struggles in her life and faith.
“Dear God” is Jennifer's journey. It is honest. It shares her doubts, her fears, and the days when God is so real that she is in awe. She invites you to join her as she explores her growing faith. No answers, no preaching, but simple words from the heart of a college student who loves God. You can send your comments to Jennifer at Threefeetdeep@aol.com)
