The way we think will rule our day,
Even change the words we say.
When we say, “I’m marching on!”
An overcoming “cloak” we don.
Even though we may feel tired,
“Marching on” keeps us inspired.
Good thoughts overcome our pain.
Instead of loss we will have gain.
“Thinking forward” is a plus,
Encouragement from God to us.
Looking up we will find joy
From God, our ever-present buoy.
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”
Psalm 42:11 KJV
“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10 KJV
