Let This Be My Prayer


Help me to consider you in every aspect of my life. In the hard and easy moments, in the moments of waiting. In the mourning and rejoicing, on the mountaintops and in the valleys deep, Lord let me consider you!! Lord, let this be my prayer, O Lord My God! May I consider you over everything that I may run this race in faith, knowing that you are my only hope in this world! Let me consider you above all else, O LORD!! I will run this race because I know you are the one leading me, Lord! Psalm 23:1-6~"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Let me consider you, Lord; consider all of you! I don't want to miss out on what more you have for me, Lord, when I didn't consider you and my utmost for your highest LORD! I can never be able to grasp fully of your glory, but I want to consider you with all that I have, only for you, Lord! May my affection be directed towards you and you alone, God! You are my heart's only desire; you are the only one who I truly long for, and will worship you as long as I have breath in these lungs! Amen! 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!!
