All things

Posted in Poetry, Praise, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , on May 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me.

But do I allow it?
Do I let go enough
of my own need to control
to allow God’s miracles to happen?

Lord,
Help me to let go
Help me to give it all to you
It is through your power alone
that my life will be filled

Nothing I do
Nothing I plan
Nothing I say

directs my path as clearly
As when I am still
and listen to your voice

I don’t have to figure it all out
I don’t have to have it all planned

I just need to trust you, God
I choose
to trust you

A Prayer for You Today

Posted in Poetry, Praise, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »

May the Lord bless and keep you
May His face shine upon you
May you experience His peace
May you feel His strength
May you hear His soothing voice
May you know His unconditional love

His love
is always there
We just have to reach out for it
Be open to it
Stop trying to control it
Stop pretending we can define it

God’s love is unconditional
no parameters
nothing you do to earn it
nothing you do can destroy it

Be who you are
just who you are
with no condemnation
for things you wish you could change

God doesn’t expect you to be perfect
(whatever that really is anyway)
He loves you
exactly as you are
today

He WILL bless and keep you
He WILL shine upon you
just let him

Lord,
use my brokenness
to lead me to you
to display your light through me
to connect to the brokenness in others
to make a lovely omelet in life…

Dear God, help me enjoy today without anticipating difficulty
without worrying that something will go wrong
that expectations will not be met
that something will happen
that something, anything, everything…

Help me stop.
Help me rest in you
Help me give it all over to you

and I will enjoy this day you have made

Psalm of Praise

Posted in Poetry, Praise, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on January 15, 2012| 2 Comments »

O God, praise your name!
I am blessed to know you
To be able to talk with you

To know you listen
to my words and cries
To know you care
about the simple things I ponder

You bring comfort to me
You lift me in times of sadness
You celebrate with me in times of joy

You know my weaknesses
and love me anyway

You see me
as perfect
as the robes of your Son
cover me

Your grace
coats my flesh
sealing my skin
in radiant light

I am covered by you
I am loved by you
I am blessed

Prayer for the New Year

Posted in Praise, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on December 31, 2011| 2 Comments »

Dear Heavenly Father,

A new year approaches

I thank you for the opportunity it brings

to see you better
to know you deeper
to let go of my need for control
let go of my need to know all the answers
before I even know the questions

another opportunity to start fresh

to learn something new
to love
to trust
to sing

to sit in your arms

Thank you for loving me
even though I don’t understand it all the time
I know it’s real
and I will cherish it.
