a cry
Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the word of his servant?
Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light,
trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This what you shall receive from my hand:
You will lie down in torment.
Isaiah 50: 10-11
Psalm 37: 23
If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
My soul longs for relief from the waves of sadness, and grief.
the waters reach all the way up, my feet are lifted up, I gulp down mouthfuls, water which threatens to drown out life.
oh rescuing hand, reach out, have mercy on this painfully sorrowful mind, reach out and take hold of me. I am helpless, I cannot overcome the waves that rise up, each time higher and higher.
I need you.
set me free, oh my god. let your truth rise up above the roaring of the crushing waves. I hurt in my heart. I hurt in my mind.
but you promise to save me, to walk with me through the waters, to cover me in the fire, THAT I WOULD LIVE
rescue me from the futility of my own mind. from the doubt and fear that threaten my soul.
BUT I WILL SAY TO MY SOUL: YOU ARE MY GOD.
my hope and help will come from you. you have never left me. you are good to me, you love me. you love Diana. your thoughts for her are not for evil.
I cannot deserve your love but you love me, have chosen to save me. because you love me. because you want to.
you will cause me to see your goodness again. to know the hope of my salvation, to rejoice with shouts of praise.
I am not alone. you are with me. you will show me your glory.
I love you lord. thank you for your word. your word is my life. my hope, my salvation, my joy.
amen and amen.
