And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
KJV Isaiah 65.24
God has heard your need for joy
And rejoicing,
Peace and stillness,
Bread and nourishment,
Protection-
Deliverance-
Love-
A Father-
Integrity-
Faith-
Strength-
A place to lay your head-
His Holy Spirit-
All your prayers God knows.
He hears your cry.
Prepare for a return.
The joy that you have
It is the joy that I need.
Three million pieces,
On the floor,
More than broken.
Name a destroyer,
Not important to me.
The repairer, I know,
He releases my grief.
The joy that you have,
Is the joy I need.
Only you can number my pieces,
Your hands are qualified.
You are all I need.
Do your work on me,
Before I am swept away.
This is what I ask.
Find me where I am.
Sit me down, you too,
Is this about me, You-
No answer is found.
Are you from above-
There is dirt in your skin, I see the dust.
Just talk.
Desperation lives.
This voice is old,
My thoughts, seasoned.
Grace, mercy, love.
What comes-
What goes-
What stays-
There is a chief above every beast,
A master, His eyes are open.
Hide where-
Live, grow, renew,
Be more.
Find Him, find you.
Where he is, kneel down,
Now it begins.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. Psalm 55:17 KJV
I call, you hear.
My stillness is rewarded.
Answers come as I wait.
My pain ceases quickly.
I hunger no more, you provide.
My meditations bring peace.
Quietness takes control of a noise stricken life.
A superabundance of joy floods my sunken heart.
Love rains down rinses my hate away.
Sin surrounded me upon exiting my mother’s womb;
Calling out to you caused your power to consume.
The sin is now removed.
I travel forward in this race,
My meditations give me a place.
Always hear me when I call,
I need you every day of my walk.
And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4 KJV
A promise made
Being answered.
Claiming what belongs
Under his wing.
We are his,
That are called;
Not by a phone,
By a thunderous voice
That is calm and gentle.
My owner
Splitting the sky.
Doing his truth,
His beauty, he’s very alive.
Not this world for me
I belong to one;
He Son stretched out on the tree.
The story has been told;
The beauty and the truth.
All his power unleashed
To rescue his children,
You and me.
The creator, He knew
All that would be done.
He knew who would follow his son.
He knows all, nothing you can hide.
He is pure, not of our mind;
Perfect and just,
Can you see this glory,
That only one God has?
Open your eyes!
His coming is a must.
You are high above the nations.
I lift my head, my spiritual eyes can see;
Your glory above the heavens.
My powerful God-
Who is like you?
You lift me up.
I am exalted.
Joyful and delighted in you.
To serve you my daily focus.
I have what I need to stand-
To please you.
High above the nations,
But so close to touch.
Your hands are on everything,
Gentle,
Nothing falls apart.
Incomplete,
But whole with you.
Who can compare?
There is no other like you.
The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Psalms 113:4 KJV
O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Isaiah 25.1 KJV
You are good.
I bless you daily.
For your grace and mercy I praise your name.
Hallelujah!
You sent help I didn’t deserve.
You gave love I couldn’t understand.
The pain that vowed never to leave, you erased.
I gave up and you poured out hope.
Hallelujah!
You allowed trials to see me achieve.
You passed out test to watch me soar.
You never failed a day in my life.
You showed me how you are like no other.
Hallelujah!
I give you praise,
I bless your name.
My voice is as a harp, a trumpet, a psaltery.
Hallelujah!
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. Psalm 118:28 KJV
Greatness
Lord your deliverance is one of a kind.
Your perfect actions bring praise to my heart.
My song cannot be kept inside.
It is sweet to be in your care.
When I stumble you keep me from falling.
When I am in danger you become a shield.
Your comfort expands when I am hurt.
Lord you keep me from destroying myself.
I love your deliverance.
I am standing because you told me I could;
I am encouraged by you alone.
I soar, because of your greatness.
I honor you, I magnify you,
I praise you, I worship you, and I exalt you.
There is always a challenge, a test from a distance or one that is brave enough to get right in our faces and release a steady flow of hot air into our space. We don’t always know it is coming or how long it will stay, but once it is there it will try to move us and take over our comfort zone. If we are prepared it does not matter if our zone is no longer one of comfort, we will be able to adjust.
When the power is out a flashlight with fresh batteries rest on the designated shelf and you can get to it in the dark. The path to it was mapped out in your mind while it was daylight, soon you can see again. Driving down the highway a flat tire brings you to a halt. Tucked away out of sight there is a spare tire and all the tools to get you moving again. We prepare ourselves for days like this that have a probability of occurring. We prepare to keep from bumping our heads on a closed door as we stumble through the darkness. That spare tire is there and the tools to utilize it so we will not be stranded. These challenges come unexpected, but being ready carries us through them.
Some challenges are more difficult to take on and get through, but preparation will prove its worth. In all that you do to plan for disasters, accidents, and other challenges that show up in your face, prayer should be the background preparation; especially when you need more than a flashlight or a spare tire. With prayer in the background adjusting will not be a problem. Every time the hot air flows too close and moves you from the place of comfort the wall that catches you will be your preparation. When you turn around to look behind you in astonishment because you knew no physical wall was there you will know your prayers are working in your environment.
A test, trial, or challenge will come; do your groundwork and change the outcome.
On my knees things happen…
My eyes are open while they are closed…
My head is down, but it is lifted up…
The room is filled with silence…
My ears hear a powerful voice…
My body is present, but I am in a different place…
My lungs breathe in a familiar air…
There is a thick vapor; it is what I feel…
When I am on my knees things happen…
To be on my knees is pleasure…
Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Jeremiah 23:23
Omni
He is present…
I feel His glory…
I cry out…
He appears…
Before a sound is made…
Before I ever pray…
He is here…
Teaching me to receive my help…
He never leaves…
At times I forget He is near…
But it is Him who keeps me strong…
I say His name and help is here…
He is a wonder…
An everywhere God…
