TIRED

So tired of going around and around this insane mountain of me.
So tired of wandering endlessly through this desert of me.
So tired of drifting without direction on this selfish sea of me.

So tired, Lord.

Why wont you come and rescue me?

I know you know where I am.
I know you see me.
I know you hear me.

Why can’t I see you?

Why can’t I feel your presence?
I need you, Lord.
I am so tired of me.

FALLING IN LOVE

I am falling deeper and deeper in love with God. He truly IS the lover of my soul. Our relationship is the only one in which I have EVER felt truly whole, in which I have EVER been assured of wholeness as a possibility, in which I have EVER envisioned or viewed wholeness as a reality. I am in love.


I am in love with His presence, His love, His availability, His comfort, His voice, His touch, His word, with Him, with Him!


He is filling ALL the empty places, ALL the emptiness I have carried around in my heart, in my mind, in my soul, in my very being.


He has become the pieces I was missing. I have found them ALL in Him.


I am in love. I am losing my fear of His control. I am embracing His Sovereignty. I am trusting His promise to NEVER, EVER leave me.


I am falling deeper and deeper in love with Him. He truly IS the lover of my soul. Our relationship is the only one in which I have EVER felt truly whole, in which I have EVER been assured of wholeness as a possibility, in which I have EVER envisioned or viewed wholeness as a reality. I am in love.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Lord, I need to hear from you today.

I stand at the crossroads,

asking for the ancient paths;

needing wisdom to choose the good way.

I need to hear, but not with the ear

that hears and then ignores;

not with the ear that hears and then is bored.

But, with the ear that hears and is wise.

The one able to recognize

the importance of the immediate response to obey.
