Where do you turn for strength when the troubles of this world become too much to bear? Do you have one person you can always depend on? Do you have enough faith to know that God will pull you through? Do you have hope for a brighter tomorrow? What is the source of your inner strength?
Through her forty-six inspirational poems in this collection, Amy Santi Bull hopes to lead you on a journey of discovering your own inner strength. First, her poems of faith will renew your faith in God, yourself, and others. Then, her poems of hope will make your heart soar with the knowledge that God is truly always by your side. Her vivid descriptions and creative verses evoke powerful images as you read each of her poems.
Just like in her first book, Believe, each poem in My Inner Strength has five corresponding Bible verses. These verses are listed in a reference section following the last of her poems in this book. They show that from the dawn of time man has survived all of life’s pitfalls by placing his faith and hope in the Lord.
No matter what path your life is on, it’s never too late to turn to the Lord. Let Amy’s poetry in My Inner Strength start leading you on your way to finding your own inner strength through faith and hope in the Lord.
Amy has always had a love for writing. Even as a child her play revolved around the stories she would create. In high school, Amy eagerly dove into every creative writing course offered, and wrote poetry regularly. She had her first and second publication of individual poems during those years. She later earned a degree from The Institute of Children’s Literature wanting to write children’s picture books along with her poetry. Over the years, Amy has had individual poems win contests and earn publication, with her first book Believe being published in 2004.
Since the release of Believe Amy has devoted her time to ministering to others through her writing and the speaking engagements that have stemmed from it. She has shared her moving testimony with people at local churches and other venues showing them that through faith and hope you can make it over any hurdle life throws your way. You can read Amy’s testimony at her website www.amybull.com.
In January 2005 Amy shared part of her story on the television show Living Epistles. It was aired on the TCT network and seen around the world.
Amy lives in North Tonawanda, NY with her husband Bill. They have been married for thirty years. They have three children and four grandchildren.
Amy plans to continue with her writing and speaking career, showing others that even being paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair as a result of an automobile accident won’t keep her from following the ministry the Lord has given her.
My Inner Strength
My inner strength comes from the Lord.
It’s part of my Christian life’s greatest reward.
For without having Christ come into my life,
It would have been full of more troubles and strife.
Of course my life will still have pitfalls to face,
But I know I can pull through with the Lord’s grace.
I can face each situation without fear,
Knowing my Lord Jesus Christ is always near.
Satan continues to launch many attacks,
But the Lord gives me the strength my body lacks.
I can feel His presence every time I pray,
Surrounding me and keeping evil away.
Sure, I’ve hit bottom and wanted to give up,
Then I recall His promise through bread and cup.
For His body was broken and His blood shed,
As payment for Adam’s sin marked on my head.
He then rose and ascended up to heaven,
Promising that I would be with Him again.
So, knowing that, I will go to any length
To show all that the Lord is my inner strength.

Just A Prayer Away
Is your whole spirit lost with nowhere to turn?
Is there a desire making your soul burn?
Have the devil’s temptations caused you to stray?
Know that redemption is just a prayer away.
Are you ready to accept faith through the Lord?
Do you want to learn of life’s greatest reward?
Is it time to admit that Christ is the Way?
Then your salvation is just a prayer away.
Are you tired of all the fighting and wars?
Do you want to see a new world where hope soars?
Is it time to flush out the dragon to slay?
Then peace for our world is just a prayer away.
Do you need relief from your heartache and pain?
Is your happy outlook too hard to maintain?
Do you need some support that is here to stay?
Then the Lord’s comfort is just a prayer away.
Is life everlasting just out of your reach?
Do you want that hope that all pastors preach?
Are you now ready to be baptized today?
Then life in heaven is just a prayer away.
