Talking To God
Lord,
Lord, where does my heart wander?
where do my thoughts travel?
far away…
so far from where You are….
I try so hard
so desperate for love
for acceptance
so unhappy with who I am
knowing who I can be
Lord, I forget
I forget that no other love can satisfy
no other love is lasing
no other love is unconditional
no other….
not the love of a lover, a spouse, a child, a friend
all will disappoint…
everyone at some time will offend
Lord, not You
not You
why, why do I forget?
Why can’t I be constant?
warm my heart
keep me in the palm of Your hand…
I know nothing else can satisfy as You do
and yet…I need that human touch
that earthly sense of being valued, desirable
Lord, no matter...
how ridiculous I am
foolish...rebellious
I want You to know
that deep down inside my little heart...
the constant in my life is Your love
YOUR love
Jesus, save me from myself
I’m my worst enemy
save me
love me
show me Your love
today….SHOW me
as only You can
open up heaven’s gates
send the light, peace and joy of that place
to envelope me...
embrace me with Your presence
let me walk in the atmosphere You dwell in
anoint my tongue
let me speak YOUR WORDS
not mine
Lord Jesus……
forgive me….
I’ve fallen
I’ve forgotten
I’ve denied
I’ve ignored
I’ve abused
Your love for me…..
Forgive me, Lord
and remember that I am weak
a child of the dust of this earth
and yet….Your child…the King of the Universe…
How awesome are YOU!!!
no one compares to you
NO ONE!!!
“Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.”
no one in heaven
no one on earth is as beautiful as You are
I exalt Your beautiful Name
name above ALL other names...JESUS!!!
You are altogether lovely and desirable….
help me, Lord…help me be who you want me to be
never...NEVER give up on me
Thank you for speaking to me today
I heard Your voice
it touched my heart
my stone cold heart
it warmed me
I felt the embrace of heaven
I adore You...
Jesus.....
In the name of the One
who has my name
engraved on the palms of His hands
because of those nail marks, I can pray….
In the name of Jesus Christ
my...SAVIOR
Amen
