Lord God, You Are My Goodness-Guide

August 24 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Amos 5-9

Key Verse – Amos 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY GOODNESS-GUIDE Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against painful lamentation Thank You for seeking me from captivity’s affliction Keep my heart victorious to overcome temptation By Your gracious preservation. Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against destructive falling Thank You for enclosing me around Your salvation-sealing Keep my soul sanctified to fight sinfulness’ grueling By Your Scriptures’ truth-instilling. Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against vain worldliness Thank You for rescuing me from wallowing in hopelessness Keep my faith strong to hurdle weariness By Your upholding righteousness. Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against attacking falsity Thank You for leading me from folly’s worthless futility Keep my mind discerning to check deceit’s subtlety By Your teaching authority. Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against threatening doubt Thank You for ushering me from distracting unbelief-route Keep my spirit steadfast to worship with praise-shout By Your reigning wisdom against ignorance-bout. Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against lurking discouragement Thank You for restoring me from gloominess of despair’s sentiment Keep my devotion on fire to prevail over sad temperament By Your wondrous revival for my divine enjoyment. Lord God, You are my goodness-Guide against engulfing sorrow Thank You for directing me from wastage of slothfulness-blow Keep my commitment unwavering to share blessings’ flow By Your great commission and discipleship-glow.
