I’ve been thinking about Psalm 86:5-6 last night in the night watch, in my heart, in my mind and all day today. The Lord is precious, powerful, and praiseworthy. Thank you Lord for listening to me and making complex confusing things simple.
I FIND LIFE CAN BE CONFUSING
I find my life in troubled times to be very confusing
The options we face, the potential disgrace
Can weigh upon our hearts and minds
More than even we realize
It is a deep seated fear that we won’t measure up
That we aren’t what others think we are
Even if they think less of us than we do
In Psalm 86 I found a line the Lord continues to highlight
“Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you O Lord, do I lift up my soul
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love
To all who call upon You.” 86:5-6
I want my soul to be unburdened, gladden my heart O Lord
Help me to be the person you meant me to be
Let me help others more, and care less of what others think
I want an honesty between us Father, short accounts on sin
Long accounts on prayer, spending time with You
Doing more listening than talking-You know who I am
I want to know more about who You are!
I desperately need your presence and council
I get sick without Your abiding, deep, merciful love
I know you hear me, I know you love me
Create in me a clean heart and a resourceful mind
Help me to study, to encourage, to help, to strengthen all I meet
People count Lord, they count with you
I pledge to make everyone I meet count, people count
