Comment from Ritasher

Excellent

Woah! I don't usually like spiritual poems as they tend to repeat the same thoughts that don't even resonate with me as I am not a believer, but the way you wrote it is just beautiful. I love the repeated line and that you rhyme so well; I love the attention to details of your presentation; you also show your position in your art without shoving it to others as the only truth - you just express what you believe in. Thank you for creating quality!

This is really amazing
It sounds like it could have come right out of the Bible.

I love how you organized this. Your separated stanzas work really, really well.
You have excellent rhymes and the poem is a smooth and easy read.
An enjoyable and uplifting read!

"Lord you're in control." Pharp, these are words to remember when we see
our world in such distress. The Lord is in control and whatever he decides, his will be done. You have written words to live by.

Great job, Portia. I am always impressed with your biblical/faith-based verses. They always read as a great blend between a prayer and a sermon. The coloration and paired imagery for this piece are also wonderful. Thank you for sharing you work. Keep writing!

The repeating last line "Lord, I know you are in control" is perfect for your words. Your poem has musical feel and flow to it, almost like a hymn. Your faith based message is clear and encourages the reader. Excellent use of words.

In a world that seems so out of control, I am glad that God is still on His throne and sovereign over my life. Only through redemption can I see this. I praise Him for I can see that He is! He's in control. Beautifully penned and illustrated poem.
Sending you my best today as always and blessings in Christ, dear Portia.

Amen and amen!! What a great poem about our Savior! Satan nips at our heels and this world is filled with temptation and sometimes we do not even know a thing is sin until it is too late. But you have told us that we have a Lord who is in control - what a comfort.
