In to Eternity

January 31st, 2009

This is just an experimental Psalm for me. I have been reading through them as of late and I truly love the poetic pentameter and the way David uses the words. His focus is on God, on sometimes reminding God of his promises, and on developing and staying in right standing with God. Oh if I could only say my life was a reflection of God like that.

———————————–

Oh Lord my God, I enter your gates in humbled adoration.

Please, please hear my request. I beg you to listen, I cry for you to reply.

Allow me Lord, to walk in the gardens of your delight all of my days.

Lord I ask for your wisdom, I seek your words of advise. Your words are like

the lilies of the gardens, precious and beautiful to me.

Please share them with me.

I feel if you do not that I might die…that I surely will die my Lord.


Lord please take care of my family. Take care of those whom I love…whom you love.

Let not your eyes be turned from their plight, let not your ears be closed to he cries of

your holy ones. Listen to them in their distress, bless them in their pursuits of you.


Lord I ask one thing, one thing for me

that I might be able to stay in your presence, that you will go with me and

be my forward and rear guard. Let no harm befall me, let no harm befall my family.

Lord I love you, delight in you, and I will seek you day after day from now into forever…

into eternity.

A Psalm for the New Year

December 31st, 2007

Last year now has come and gone, but your love

endures forever. My God I know that in the highs and the lows

You are into me. You are before me and beside me and everywhere

in between. You are my omnipresent guide.

I know when I do not feel you, you are there. I know that when I

do feel you I rest secure. Be with me now, be with me in the new year,

let me feel your presence. Do not leave my side. Teach me and

rebuke me, but do not leave me nor forsake me. I can not bear the

thought of not being in your presence.

Lord teach me to abide, to abide in the inner most temple. Let me

be but a servant in your court. I will be happy all of my days just to

be in your presence. Abide with me, and I in You. You add strength and

vitality to all my days.
