Sometimes it’s not enough to say… The words just run across the page. Their meaning seems to fall far short No matter what I try… O Lord! And I cannot, can NOT convey The burden of my heart that weighs, So I can only groan in prayer, Casting on You every care.
Winter Warmth
Winter sweeps my soulFreezing me inside with all the what-ifs,Might-have-beens, and should-haves.The icy wind of regret would knock me off my feetIf I did not firmly grasp Your hand, Father God, offeringThe warmth of Your love, mercy, and forgiveness.
Psalm 23… Again
My Shepherd sweet Meets all my need, In pastures green, By quiet stream… Always. He heals my soul, Keeps my path whole, All for the sake Of His great name… Always. Though death draw near, I will not fear, For You’re my guide, Right by my side… Always. Your staff and rod Give strength, O […]

Intercession
When You wake me with Your presence, Your purpose shines in my heart like a beacon— Drawing me onward towards Your light, Weighing my heart with compassion for Your people… I cannot be still! I ache for You to reveal Yourself To those my heart loves, To those I have known through the years. It […]

In the violet sky with all its royal hues covering earth below, I see wispy cloud like invisible wings spread across my vision, Enfolding all creation in unseen comfort As distant starlight begins peeping through fading sunlight In the oncoming rush of night… Beautiful, splendid brilliance of Your universe unfurled before my eyes. You hold […]

Seems like so long since I came to You Sat down with You Spoke here with You Listened to You Feels like my ears have been all stopped up Heart weighted down Head so freaked out Thoughts focused in But somewhere within I still hear You speak Inside all the noise Your still, small voice […]
