Rest

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

 

rest

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.

No Caution

Kneel

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.

My Voice

praying hands

 

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.

Highest Praise

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!

Greatness

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.

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…

Live Here

Stand-

This land is new, your train is leaving.

Are you afraid, skeptical?

Breathe-

Lift your hand, wave.

A flag caught in the wind.

There is noise.

Your bags have locks,

Release-

There are hangers, there are shelves,

Chairs robust and sofas textured.

Beds and dressers sitting bold.

Relax-

Clouds scatter and the sun shines.

The cold you felt will trickle away.

In the midnight there is a blanket.

You’re tucked in.

No more tickets sold.
