The poems in Sprouts of the Spirit are centered on challenges that we face daily. Some of the poems are light hearted, while others may bring tears. How we prevent challenges from controlling our lives is important. Challenges may be small, while others could alter our lives with a form of control. Through God’s grace and mercy we can overcome these challenges by allowing God to direct our path. Whatever challenges face us, we should try to alleviate them by focusing on a prayerful act for guidance. This prayer should continue as we ask for solutions, because different degrees of challenges will always exist, so prayer should never be far from our mind. Challenges are constantly placed upon us in this ever-changing society. How we cope with them determines our contentment. God’s words of scripture exist to instruct and guide us in our response to daily challenges. When we believe in God, it enables us to maintain a harmonious level of existence through His word. And when we acknowledge others’ experiences, which are similar to ours, we become less isolated globally.
