This poem is practically concurrent with the first one; I wrote them during an outdoor session of Freshman Writing Seminar, fall of 2005. It was a powerful experience that I will never forget.

Ah, how weak is the strength of those
Who choose to walk the righteous path;
When they stumble, often they become discouraged
Or at their own mistakes filled with wrath.
Yet, there is a source of strength
Upon which they can totally rely;
The Lord gives His followers strength to endure pain,
And courage enough to die.
It is sad that so many today do not
Go to the Lord for their daily bread.
They turn from He who can supply for every need,
And prepare them for trials ahead.
So many starve and burn out in faith,
because they do not ask to be fed
By the Heavenly Father-and unless they realize
Their condition, they will eternally remain spiritually dead.
But those in the Lord, as Isaiah said,
Renew their strength every day.
He provides for our needs and guides our steps,
Walking with us every step of the Way.
So remain in Him, children of God,
And He will remain in you.
When we are weak, He is strong;
So let Him be your strength in all that you do.
