Don’t let us be anxious
The Lord is at hand
He cares for the living
The dead and those banned
From taking a stand
Against Satan’s devices
Of tricky lie’s brand
Which, cut into slices
They could understand
And see they’re kept under
The devil’s control to fit
Into systems they should rather quit
God’s Peace is eternal
His arm reaches far
He knows our internal
Our heart’s deepest scar
He heals all these wounded
By life and by man
His Love lasts forever
We’re part of His plan
Don’t let us be troubled
Nor let us be afraid
God’s Peace can’t be bottled
When He’s our only aide

Susanne, it is good to see that you were inspired to write another poem. It has been a long time. I am trying to figure out what the picture of the bank of the channel relates to your poem. I understand the beer bottle caps where people get drunk so they can have artificial peace in their souls for a moment. Like Jesus said,
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, ESV2011)

Thank you so much for commenting and asking, Michael. 🙂
Yes, in Him we will have also overcome the world. But oh, it takes a long time until we are fully conformed into His image and can stay IN CHrist continually!
Indeed, it has been some time since we wrote our last poem in February 2016 together. I had a lot of problems with formatting this poem on here and no solution as yet. Whether these probs stem from WordPress, from my computer, from Windows 10, or from the theme I chose, I don’t know… 🙄
As for your question how my pictures relate to my poem, well, the beer bottle caps from Munich should hint to the impossiblity to limit God’s overwhelming peace as I wrote in these last two verses,
“God’s Peace can’t be bottled… When He’s our only aide.”
The photo I lately took while walking up the ramp of the Europe Channel shows a clear blue sky (stands for the promise of clarity and light) and a seeming obstacle before something (the Channel) you cannot see as yet in this picture. If a child would see this picture for the first time, would it know that waters flow behind? Waters here represent the Holy Spirit’s flow. However, I also like your idea about a ‘beery’ artificial peace. Funny! 🙂
I hope my explanation helps a bit, my dear brother.

Yes, Susanne, we need to get beyond all our man made obstacles to get into the flow of what God has for our lives in Christ. 🙂 Thanks for your explanation. ⭐
