Why???

Why am I so resistant to change, dear LORD, when you are in control?

Why am I holding on so tightly to things as I am unafraid to let go and trust your hand?

Why am I so impatient and filled with so much unrest?

Why do I dwell on the future yet forget what lies just straight ahead?

Why, O LORD, do I do this when you are so faithful to me?

I want to trust you

I really do

I need you to empty me

I need your love

to surround me

when all is said and done

I need your grace to wash over me

and cleanse me like a flood

I need you, dear LORD, to take away

myself, the part of me,

that doesn’t want to give

I need you to make me

whole and complete

This

my LORD

is the life with you

that I desire

to live!

Everything you want for me…

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty—I will say of the LORD He is my refuge and strength, my God in whom I trust—It is good to praise Him because of His goodness to me—He allures me into the desert and speaks tenderly to me; I want to hear what He has to say—I want to share my heart with those I meet—I want to love those who are also so dear to me—help me LORD—sometimes I am not who I want to be— You are my heart’s true love—the one I want to draw ever near—Because you love me You will protect me, You will rescue me—You want only what is best for those you love—if it takes time in my book, it is only for Your good, Your preparation of my heart—I eagerly anticipate—oftentimes with tears—because I know that You are good—but my heart it rarely clears—I want to soar—I want to fly with my wings into the night—to touch your heart and know your voice—and in your name escape the one who wants to tear me from it all.  LORD, I want everything you want for me—help me to understand your ways—don’t let me settle for anything less than is what is Your best—hold my heart and never let it go—help me to submit fully to you as I come ever so near you no  nearer no matter where I am—scattered thoughts and empty words seem to pour through my mind—I’ve never been so torn before—seems I don’t know where to start—I Love you—protect my heart for the one it so loves—and help me to reach out to those you have placed in my path wherever I am—I fix my gaze on you who is unseen that I believe with faith and patience—YOU are more than enough for me—I surrender and yield my heart’s desires to you—Amen!!!

Desperately I Fall…

Desparately I fall aimlessly into your arms

I long for your embrace

to comfort me

and carry  me

to show me love

and

with

the attitude of my mind

and

with the strength you have given me

I press on

because I am secure

secure  in your everlasting arms

for there I find delight

I love you, O God of my life

I am desperate for you

Help me to live for you

through your word and prayer

I long to pray

and

see things happen

in people’s lives

near and far

renew me LORD

and  teach me

this I pray LORD Jesus

Amen

I am desperately falling for you!!!

Look to the LORD…

“Look to the LORD and His Strength. Seek His face always (Psalm 105:4).” Why should I be content and satisfied with my life as it is??? Because He sustains me with His Faithfulness. He has placed desires deep within me and I thank Him for them. I give Him the praise and with that I give Him my trust. I must trust Him, if He placed those desires deep within me, He will fulfill them according to His good, pleasing and perfect will for my life. He has done so much for me. He has blessed me immeasurably and I could not asked for more. I long for Him to make me more content, content to trust in Him for the deepest, most intimate desires of my heart. LORD, I look to you and seek your face, knowing you sustain me from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. You redeem and you sustain and you satisfy my desires for today. You do not give too much or too little, but just the right amount of blessing so that I will seek your face always. May your hand be upon me this day arming me with your strength for battle. For this battle truly belongs to you. Thank you once again for the deep, intimate desires of my heart and teach my heart a greater trust as I give them back to you. Help me to shine for you through your love so much more. I Love you, I cling to you, Amen.
