About Patty Perkins

Unknown's avatar
I'm Patty, writer of the devotional blog, Beside Quiet Waters. I love writing, reading and taking long walks with my camera. I've been married to my loving husband for 40 years. We have two grown sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and two amazing grandchildren. I am thankful for a place to share spilled ink, in hopes of encouraging others to find daily hope and inspiration in God's Word.

Unless you strengthen me

Again the One who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength…” Daniel 11:18

…..

How can I be strong,

except you strengthen me.

How can I know your will,

except you speak to me.

…..

How can I have you near,

except you dwell in me.

How can I be worthy,

except you cover me.

…..

How can I call you Father,

except you loved me.

How can I live forever,

except you died for me.
