My Psalm

Last Sunday our sermon was on the 23 Psalm. During the sermon our preacher challenged us to write our own Psalm about our life and our relationship with God. I spent the next week thinking about what I would write and reading several different Psalms from the Bible. After mulling over it all week I finally decided to break down and write it out. Then I had a crazy idea. Why don't I actually update my blog? It's only been 4 months. Maybe this will get me back into the habit. Maybe. Well anyway, here goes.

Oh God, You are my source of strength, comfort and guidance.
You've heard my groans, my pleas and my cries.
You've been my rock to lean on, my inspiration when I've felt empty and a friend when I've felt alone.
You've rejoiced in my victories, shared in my praises and delighted in my spiritual growth.
You have loved me and led me like the loving Heavenly Father that you are.
You provide guidance, direction, discipline and refuge.
No matter how far away from You I've felt, You're always near me.
When I've tried to hide my face from You, You've searched for me.
When I've been ashamed of what I've done or become, You've bathed me in forgiveness and warmth and called me son.
Oh, God, You are my God. The Great Provider, Healer and Ultimate Comfort.
May I always long to seek Your ways in all I do.
