Thoughts from the Psalms, 6

Darkness seeks a hold
Obscures Your name from mind
In every which way I'm pulled
Struggle to keep on Your path's line

Each offered path will beckon
But I've traveled there before
Know how later each will darken
Yet leave me still wanting more

So I pray, while still sane
Shine Your glory, light my way
Fill my mouth with Your refrain
And hedge my path, so I'll not stray

Thoughts from the Psalms, 4

Father, instruct me
In Your ways, remind me of
Your deeds, encourage
To continue on in You
Steadfast, rooted in Your Word

Thoughts from the Psalms, 3

Enemies swarm around
God is hope in this test
Instill fear, quaking ground
God calms weary to rest
Weapons drawn, evil grins
God is shield, none can best
Perfect strength, so He wins
God be praised, we are blessed!

Remember the end
Fear He who will rule, honor
The Sovereign One

Thoughts from the Psalms, 1

Before I met God, life was a lazy
Stream carrying me on varied paths:
Straight and twisted, slow and racing
Never resisting, accepting life's happenings
Now He is my guide, revealing the true
Nature of this river. Some currents
Need be resisted; others, used
With care, follow His lead, His way is sure and pure.
