My child,
you see before you
a mountain;
a mountain
that is
too high;
too steep;
that is
unconquerable;
insurmountable.
Listen
to Me.
Listen again
to My words:
If you have faith
even as small
as a mustard seed
you can say
to this mountain,
move,
and it will move.
Do you believe this?
Do you believe
that I can do this?
Do you believe
that I am willing;
that I want
to do this,
for you?
I do not want
to see you
afraid
and anxious;
unable to move forward
because of this mountain.
Put your hand
in Mine
and trust Me.
I can see
the path ahead.
It is neither
too high
nor too steep.
It is neither
unconquerable
nor insurmountable.
It is just
part of your walk
with Me;
a new part;
an exciting part.
Come with Me now.
Walk forward boldly.
I promise you
that,
once we reach
the other side,
you will be able
to look back
with joy.

About the author
Kathleen Wilks
I have been writing poems for a number of years now and many of them have been used as prayers in church services.
Recently I have started to write meditations. These are based on people in the Bible who met with Jesus.
Other meditations are to be read on a more personal level as God speaks to us, collectively or as individuals where we are now.
The meditations can be used in services, in study groups or in private.
I live in York, England, and worship at Holy Trinity Church, Heworth, and St Olave's Church in York.
I work as Property Manager for the Diocese of York in the Church of England.
