Staring into the Future

Staring into the future, thoughts drift away in hopelessness.
Where are the thoughts that once filled the mind with excitement?
In disparity, thoughts of uncertainty, fear, and unbelief filled the heart.
Waves of discouragement and disillusionment brought forth weariness.
Where are the dreams and desires that once captured the heart?

Staring into the future, we question, where has the time vanished?
Is there time to fulfill dreams and aspirations that once ruled the spirit?
Is the gift given with a promise for the future still alive with expectation?
Is it too late to breathe deep and allow His presence to come with passion?
While Satan plunders, Jesus comes to give abundantly, filling the gap.

Staring into the future with that which is true breathes impetus.
Thoughts brought into His captivity bring forth hope that’s limitless.
Looking back to past victories allows faith to arise on the horizon.
Girding up the loins of the mind brings forth focus with determination.
Gifts are uncovered as new life and hope burst forth in a new season.

Staring into the future, firmly planted, His abilities allow a fresh start.
Doubt and confusion wash away as fresh vision fills the heart.
Confidence embraces the heart with new strength, now shown.
Joy floods the soul, preparing the way for paths unknown.
Staring into the future, uncertainty is now replaced with faith.
