My Psalm

You have shown me how to trust You 

in the trials that I have faced.

You have lifted up my head

and wiped away tears, each one.

Now I declare with everything I am,

"You are my anchor, the Love of my life."

Direct me, O God, show me Your will,

for I long to remain in You;

I long to remain in the vine.

I don't know where to turn

but I know You never let go.

Your steadfast love holds me.

Your goodness abounds!

Amidst the noise 

I will quiet my soul and say, 

"God, You are my light, 

the Lantern that guides me through.

A Psalm Revised

{ Psalm 19 }

How can someone look at the beauty 

in the sky and not see You? 

You paint the skies and pull out the stars

every single day and it is so obviously You.

They are silent but magnificent 

witnesses for Your great name. 

The sun, the majestic sun;

it lights up the earth like a billion

candles illuminating creation.

It never fails in its duty to light

and heat each day. 

Nothing can compare to Your lessons

because they are faultless.

I can always trust what You say.

Your words bring joy to my soul

and refresh my heart.

You teach me how to live 

in a way I can understand.

You are pure which

calls me to a higher level of purity.

You are the perfect judge

and never give the wrong verdict.

Your justice is priceless

and rich like ganache;

better with every taste.

You help to keep me from

stumbling and the reward is great.

God show me what my heart looks like. 

Take away the ugliness I don't even know is there.

Save me from myself 

so that I can be guilt free and clean.

I pray that what I say

and what I set my heart on would

be like incense to You.

You are my Saviour, the One I lean on. 

Personal Application

The book of Psalms was so fun to read. 

It is my favourite book when it comes to painting pictures

and bearing ones soul. I love the honesty and all of

the emotion. It encourages me to be even

more honest with God about my heart 

and who I long to be and how I want to 

live my life. I am normally an open book but

I do find at times that I hold back with God. 

There is so much beauty in the pain 

and there is no reason to hold in in.

 He knows my heart better than I do anyway.
