The Journey – A Christian Poem for the Lenten Season
Give my heart feet
So that it may walk towards you.
Give me the motivation to arise,
And the drive to see your will through.
When I am idle
Put my body back into gear –
To continue to put one foot in front of the other
In the presence of doubt and fear.
You are my shield that protects me
When the trumpets blare and bows are strung.
But you can only protect me
When I march mightily – not when I turn and run.
The journey looks impossible
When I measure the miles.
But one foot in front of the other
And your love endures endless trials.
-Poem Written by Justin Farley
Soul Notes – Poems and Reflections
If you’re searching for meaning in a world that feels too busy, too loud, too dominated by endless scrolling, Soul Notes is a place to feel heard. A few times a month, I send reflections on nature, mental health, and spirituality. Words to carry with you.
