But God…
A psalm to praise and sing to God, out loud.
But God…
You say you’re tired,
You say there’s no way,
You say the distance is too great,
You say you can’t take one more step,
But God…. but God….
You say there’s no hope,
You say there’s no light,
You say darkness overtakes,
You say the enemy has you surrounded,
But God…. but God…
Dear Child of the Most High, call upon Him!
Fear not, stand firm and see the Salvation of The LORD
You are never left alone or without Hope
And as long as He is in this world,
He is the Light of the World….
Remember that He has made you
The salt and light of the earth
Remember that He who lives inside you
Is greater than he in this world
Remember that you are fearfully
And wonderfully made for such a time as this
Filled with His Perfect Love
That casts out all fear!
Dear Child of the Most High, call upon Him!
Fear not, stand firm and see the Salvation of The LORD
You are never left alone or without Hope
And as long as He is in this world,
He is the Light of the World….
But God….
But God…
But God…
Dear Child of the Most High, call upon Him!
Fear not, stand firm and see the Salvation of The LORD
You are never left alone or without Hope
And as long as He is in this world,
He is the Light of the World….
But God….
But God…
But God…
But God….
But God…
But God…
But God…
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” 1 John 4:18.
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4.
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20.
“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,” 2 Corinthians 3:5.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.” John 14:1.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.” James 1:2-8

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2
“Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield or cast up a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, declares the Lord. For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.” And that night the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.” 2 Kings 19:32-35.
“When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. And when the Syrians came down against him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness in accordance with the prayer of Elisha. And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria. As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” So the Lord opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, shall I strike them down? Shall I strike them down?” He answered, “You shall not strike them down. Would you strike down those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” So he prepared for them a great feast, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel.” 2 Kings 6:15-23.
“And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.” Exodus 14:13

Gabrielle Fuehrer came to The LORD in Spring 2020 and soon began receiving inspiration from The Holy Spirit in the form of Poems (Psalms), meant to praise, glorify and worship our Lord Jesus Christ and uplift the Body of Christ. A preschool teacher, surrounded by the blessings and love of the little ones she teaches, Gabrielle also runs the website, “Imagine a Love Like That“.
“Let everything that has breath praise The LORD.” Psalm 150:6.
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
I’ve not yet been perfected in love, but He is taking me from greater glory to greater glory. I’m in His waiting room. A few years back I went through some troubled times with who I thought was a friend. It got very rocky, which of course drives us closer to Him. And one day, after being almost completely depleted by these circumstances, I said to the Father, ” I just want to be loved.” And I meant it. It came from the deepest part of me, and suddenly the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard said, “You will be deeply loved.” You notice here that He didn’t say I “am” deeply loved, but that I will be.
I’m reminded of the Shulamite woman in Songs of Solomon, “do not release love before it’s time,” as the hard and fallow ground has not yet been fully prepared for this beautiful seed. Being tilled up and prepared is painstaking!! It’s like being chewed up and spit out over and over again. But He’s so gracious, the Maker always gives a bit of time for rest, and He never let’s go….
God bless you Gabrielle, thank you for these beautiful words….much needed!!
Dear Cherish, Thank you for sharing your story. I am so glad that this psalm helped you. And guess what? Your words ministered to me ! With the reference to Songs of Solomon : I’m reminded of the Shulamite woman in Songs of Solomon, “do not release love before it’s time,” as the hard and fallow ground has not yet been fully prepared for this beautiful seed.
When I first became born again back in 2020 I began a long distance correspondence with a friend just through email then texting. A very nice person who the LORD paired me up with and I asked the LORD when I could see him. And that small voice inside me said, “In time.” Lol “in time” was not a definitive answer! Nevertheless I was okay with it know that His Ways are higher than our ways and His Thoughts are higher than ours and that everything He does is in His Perfect Timing. Your reply made me reflect on this and acknowledge that the LORD is absolutely right! The LORD knows me better than myself, and if I had met my friend in person back then it would not have been the best idea at the time, nor would it have been good for me! Timing is everything .
The LORD needed to work on me, and like you said, the process is unpleasant. You think you have worked on something and it is done only to discover months later that you need to go deeper and surrender even more than you did before. However I know the LORD made me a promise and I am holding onto that “in time”. In His Perfect Timing the “in time” will come! Many blessing to you!
