Conditioning


Psalm 143:5 

I recall the old days;
I meditate on all You have done;
I reflect on Your accomplishments.

 

conditioning

 

What do I want to hear? What are my expectations?

Where does it all fit in as I travel into vagueness?

Changes are now here pressing toward frustration

Is enough faith within to lead us through the darkness?

 

Time to meditate replacing dreams of yesterday

Like a threatening flood destiny seems clear

Should we now congregate as temporal fleets away?

Is it for our own good when our last breath is near?

 

No surprises come our way but things catch us off-guard

The only thing sustaining us is the stability of Salvation

We don’t know what to say as our prayers fall apart

From the selfish that contains us so to hamper meditation
