What can I learn from this?
How does it apply?
Trying to seek first, your Kingdom,
Yet also, wondering why.

In going through this challenge,
Give me pause to reflect on your Word,
or bring me back to a sermon,
from a preacher I once heard.

Show me the way, Dear God
Spirit, please guide on what to do.
Prove me beyond this struggle,
Strengthen me towards a breakthrough.

My desire is to please you, Lord,
So I cast away doubt or fear,
Looking for a glorious testimony of your goodness,
And how you are always right here.

Though I want this grappling to cease,
From this battle, to be set free.
I want to serve your purpose and goodness,
Thank Jesus, for saving a wretch like me.

I wait patiently for your answer,
to guide me and set me straight.
I wait in service during your silence,
so the time passes quick.

Are you there, Lord?
Is your silence also your answer?
I check my gut, calm my thoughts,
In prayer, I meditate on your Word.

Is it my request that needs a tweak?
Is my impatience causing a delay?
In the meantime I will serve, you God,
To please you not for earnings.

You are the Most High and giving God,
In my deepest and horrible times of trial,
You have rescued me, forgiven me, and set me right
With unfathomable love, you have blessed me abundant.

With trust and faith, I await your instruction.
With love and honor, I try to serve you well.
Forgive my hurry, it’s anticipation.
To see and testify of your wonder and glory.

Thank you, Lord, for always being here.
It is all I can truly count on.
For at the end of each path I can see,
Your hand, and how you’ve guided me safely.

I wait with much patience, Lord
To hear your voice and read your Word,
Continuing in service with joy,
Your blessings and love comfort me always.

Good morning, Heavenly Father,
Thank you for giving me rest.
Your witnesses are singing,
Wind in the trees; Birds in their nest.

Good morning, Jesus my Savior,
Thank you for protecting my sleep.
Shine bright within and from out of me,
So Your light might attract lost sheep.

Good morning, Holy Spirit,
Thank you for guiding my day.
As I intersect and interact with others,
Give me loving wisdom in what to say.

Good morning heavenly hosts,
servants of God, warriors of prayer,
Thank you for your surrender,
Of your consecrated work, I am aware.

Good morning, Holy Bible,
Thank you for your Word so alive!
Teach me things new and old,
In your precepts, I will abide.
