My Journal Is For the Lord

Somehow writing to You, Lord
makes it all seem perfect; 
while I write, You tell me
the way You want things to be.

Sometimes You can show me
how things look to You,
just a little bit anyway,
I have to stretch to see.

I like sharing with You
all the things I want to do
while You make suggestions
I never have thought of.

I don't hear Your voice
really, though somehow
I know what it is You tell me
even without seeing it.

Only You know how to do that!
