For He is with you

—a poem by #myscripturememory

When you feel like you’re alone,

God is with you

When you’re sad and broken down,

He’s right beside you

When it all seems too far gone

He keeps you grounded

When the rescue seems too long

His peace surrounds you

and

God’s Word reminds you—

“Even when I walk through

the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid,

for You are with me”

—Psalm 23:4

... Read moreYou know, sometimes words just aren't enough when you're going through a tough time. That's when I often turn to poetry, especially poems rooted in scripture. There’s something so incredibly soothing about combining the beauty of verse with the timeless truth of God's Word. My own poem, 'For He is with you,' which I recently shared, really grew out of those moments of needing a deeper connection to faith. One of the most powerful verses for me, and the one that inspired a core part of my poem, is Psalm 23:4: 'Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are with me.' Just thinking about those words, especially during moments when I felt truly alone, like those clasped hands in the image, offers such profound peace. It’s a direct promise that no matter how deep the valley, God's presence is a constant. This isn't just about reading verses; it's about letting them sink into your spirit. When you feel like you're alone, or when sadness seems to weigh you down, these spiritual poems act like a gentle embrace. They remind us that we're never truly broken and that there's always a hand reaching out. I've found that memorizing even small portions, like that powerful line from Psalm 23:4, can be a lifeline throughout the day. It’s amazing how a few well-chosen words can shift your perspective and bring a sense of calm amidst chaos. If you're looking to deepen your own spiritual journey, I highly recommend exploring Christian poetry or even trying to craft some of your own. It doesn't have to be perfect! Just let your heart speak through words inspired by your favorite bible verses. You can use these poems as prayers, as meditation tools, or simply as daily affirmations. They can truly touch your heart and become a source of strength when you need it most. Imagine starting your day with an inspirational poem like this, letting God's truth guide your steps. The entire Psalm 23 is a masterpiece of comfort, but verse 4, in particular, speaks directly to our fears and anxieties. It acknowledges the 'darkest valley' – those periods of grief, uncertainty, or struggle that we all face. But it doesn't leave us there. It immediately follows with the reason for hope: 'for You are with me.' This isn't just a theological concept; it's a personal, intimate assurance. When I pictured the clasped hands in my mind while writing, it symbolized that unwavering connection, that divine support, always there to steady us. So, whether you're actively searching for 'bible poems' or just stumbled upon this, I hope it encourages you to lean into God’s word in a new way. Let these spiritual poems be a balm for your soul, a reminder that you are deeply loved and never truly walk alone. They truly are inspirational poems to touch the heart.

Original Poem - A Haunting I Know Too Well 🍄‍🟫
This poem is written from the point of view of one of my book characters—Wallace Zagar. Haunted by the voice of someone who broke him, Wallace speaks from beyond the grave, carrying pain that even death couldn’t silence. Sometimes the scars you can’t see are the ones that linger the longest.

Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so

We are memorizing verse 1a in Psalm 1 which states, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,”… God often speaks to us through people. So when we are seeking counsel, it should be aligned with God’s word. If we make decisions solely based on our own thoughts and feeling

Original Poem - Just For The Feeling
Addiction isn’t always what we think it is. It’s more than just substances — it can be a feeling, a person, a thrill. I’ve faced my own battles and fears with addiction, and it’s taught me to be aware and cautious. But sometimes, the fear of falling deeper lingers. This poem is my reflection on tha

A poem for moving on
When I first read this poem I thought I was being watched because I relate to this poem so much. Although I feel like this poem in a way helps people who relate move on from the past. Because in the end, you will end up finding the right person even if it feels like you won’t.
