Lead Me Back

June 28, 2026

Psalm 51:10 ~ "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Lord, lead me back to you once again. Lead me back to your heart. I have sinned against you. God, have grace upon me. Lord, I'm sorry for what I have done, said, and acted in the ways of the world and not your ways - living how you have commanded me. Lead me back, because you are the only one my soul truly longs for. Lead me back to your Word. In you, I find true peace, satisfaction, freedom from my sin, shame, and guilt. Lead me back to you, because there's no place I'd rather be. In every season, Lord, lead me back to you. Wherever I am, on the mountaintops or in the valleys low, in the dry seasons, in the seasons of triumphs and joy, Lord, always lead me back to you because you alone are worthy of all my praise! El Shaddai, this is my prayer. El Elyon, all praise to you! El Shaddai, Elohim, Yeshua, El Elyon, Yahweh, Adonai, Emmanuel, El Roi - oh how my heart longs for you only! Soli Deo Gloria!!

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!

"This poem was written because there are so many seasons in life where I just feel spiritually dry and worn out but even in the seasons where things are good and seasons when things are chaotic and nothing makes sense this poem is a prayer to the Lord to lead me back to him, lead me to his heart, and back to his Word. In every season of my life, I know that God is working all things out for good. What the enemy meant for evil, God will use it for good. God's faithfulness and love aren't based on what we do or who we are, but it's based on who he is, and what he has done on the cross, what he has done, and what he continues to do for us as sons and daughters of the King! Lead me back, because my heart longs for the Lord, because only in Him I am forever satisfied." ~ Yvonne Boehne
