God illuminates the wonderful way He puts before me so I don’t need to worry. He protects me from things that destroy my soul so I can rest in peace.
When people try to rip me to shreds--everyone who hates me and is jealous--God knocks them down.
Even when it seems like all the people around me are out to get me and cause me to fall, I won’t be scared. Even if their mouths are shooting direct hits towards my heart, I will still stay calm.
The one desire that consumes my soul is that I stay in God’s presence all the earthly days that He has given me, learning to be still as He becomes ever more beautiful in my eyes.
In the sublime place His presence provides, I will rest in His home, safe in secret rooms He alone knows.
And now, I know I will not be killed by those who desire my failure. Standing in His presence I will shout “hallelujah!” and sing wonderful songs of joy because He is worthy!
Still, Daddy God, I need You! Please hear my cries and comfort me.
You said, “Make Me your heart’s desire,” and my heart echoed with joy.
No matter what, don’t draw back from me or refuse to be with me when You’re angry. You’re the only one who can help me, oh please don’t leave me ever!
The people I trusted and loved most rejected me, but still You wrap Your arms around me and refuse to let me go.
Please teach me what it means to follow You alone, on the path that is true and no evil comes near.
Don’t let those who secretly hate me win, because I have heard the stories they tell about me, the lies they convince the world are true. Don’t let my heart give in to the discouragement they breathe.
Many times I would have given up except that I knew God is trustworthy, faithful and good; and I will see that proved in this life.
When all seems dark, look to His light. Find strength in His promise and hope. Yes, He will shine on.
