Your couplets rhyme nicely and flow nicely from line to line with an even tempo.

I can feel your deep and sincere faith through your verse.

When days are dark it is easy to turn to faith, but it is when things go smooth that it is easy to forget and say thanks. Thank you for sharing this well written poem.

An excellent poem of one's personal faith in Christ and his saving grace. Wonderfully written piece of poetry here and all in perfect rhyme.

The message of the poem with very attractive rhymes is moving. I also pray the same thing in my life "never to go astray!" Most of the times I was blinded by the painful experiences I been through but with God's grace, I'm quick to recognize I will be lost. God bless you!

    I think if we didn't have some pain and struggles in our lives we wouldn't be able to know how awesome His grace truly is. I very much appreciate your comments and the generous rating of your review. God bless.

This goes against my core beliefs and values, but technically speaking, the piece is well writ and well constructed. You make good use of your rhyming quatrains, you have good flow here, you used a nice 's' alliteration. My only concern is the piece may sound cliche to people who are used to hearing prayers or poems to or about God, but I'm not in a position to really determine that. Great work here, thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so very much for reviewing this piece in spite of your beliefs being contrary to those expressed here. I deeply appreciate your comments on the quatrains and the "s" alliteration and how these fit with the poetic construction here. Those who have commented from a similar position have not alluded to the cliche of which you fear but I will certainly consider your suggestion. I appreciate your encouragement and the generous rating.

The Gospel of Saint John speaks of the WORD and identifies it as Jesus. This is a very well written inspirational poem with words of Truth implanted.

    Thank you so much for your encouraging remarks and generous review. I pray I never have to but I certainly want to be able to do so if it becomes necessary.

    When it comes to spiritual action, one is never alone. Jesus tells us, "I am with you always..." You're welcome, Belinda. Charlie

I love poetry that shines with faith - the last stanza is a powerful one. It's my prayer too.

p.s. The quote on your profile page is one of my favourites - and I needed to see it today. Thank you! :)

Nice to meet you, Belinda.

Very powerful poem you have here. This is filled with a strong faith and love for God. This makes me think of a character that I read in one of Francine Rivers' books; Hadassah. She was faced with that very choice: Deny Christ and live or stay with Him and be sent to the lions. She choose the lions. But more than that, she lived each and every day with that strength. This could be from her heart. I've always thought she was a great example of how to be in life, and here I am, finding a real life example. :D
