A few days ago I could feel some things rising up in me that needed to be expressed in writing. I was working through some things with God and I felt the need to encourage my soul in the Lord. So, here is what I wrote. May it bless you as it did me…
Deliver me, deliver me oh Lord from the darkness that claws to keep me bound.
I want to be whole and free. Free to pursue the passions which You have birthed into me.
When the flood of failures comes rushing in help me to find the ark You have prepared for me.
When the way before me narrows and presses in on every side help my heart to rest in knowing it’s still Your home.
When the hot and dry desert is all I see guide me under the shadow of Your wings.
When I don’t have all the answers or know which way to turn remind me to listen longer and deeper for that gentle whisper of wisdom.
When a false identity puts out a beckoning hand help me turn faster and more completely into the fearfully and wonderfully fingerprint You personally carved out for me.
When life seems empty and hopeless, show me again that My Child seal that can never be revoked.
When an imperfect chasing of perfectionism leaves me disappointed and doubting remind me there is much to learn and You will use it all for my good and Your glory.
When my feet feel like they need to run in five directions at the same time remind me to wait for the sound of Your metronome to lead my way and timing.
When past idols try to slither their way in remind me of the authority in Your Word and my voice to trample on their heads.
When the pangs of death come trying to weaken and distract remind me that only when a seed dies can new life begin.
