Consider Him, Seek God First

Recently, I came across a poem that touched my heart and I wanted to share it with you.

The title is: “Consider Him.”

The author of “Consider Him” is unknown.

Who knows how old this poem is, but the message is timeless.

I think about some of the heartaches my husband and I have gone through.

Family members and friends have experienced difficult challenges.

There is comfort in sharing our prayer requests with each other.

Please don’t feel like you’re burdening someone when you ask for prayer.

Encourage each other when times are tough.

God places genuine people (prayer warriors) in our lives, if we just know where to look.

That is a heavenly mindset – focus on what is above and always seek God first.

Consider Him


When the storm is raging high,

When the tempest rends the sky,

When my eyes with tears are dim,

Then, my soul, consider Him.

When my plans are in the dust,

When my dearest hopes are crushed,

When is passed each foolish whim,

Then, my soul, consider Him.

When with dearest friends I part,

When deep sorrow fills my heart,

When pain racks each weary limb,

Then, my soul, consider Him.

When I track my weary way,

When fresh trials come each day,

When my faith and hope are dim,

Then, my soul, consider Him.

Clouds or sunshine,
dark or bright,

Evening shades or morning light,

When my cup flows o’er the brim,

Then, my soul, consider Him.
