a cry to His chariot

i know not the way
and its dips and turns.

He has promised protection
vowed guidance and words -
so why is He silent?

Army of God, keep close
watch and fend-off enemies,
keep me company, nite and day
'til the clouds in
my head and heart part.

point me to God's mighty salve
whose aim is true
and love, singular.

show me God: omniescient, omnipresent -
His presence uneclipsed and constant.

LiSteninG Prayer

The next time you have a "date" with God, why not try something new. Why don't you spend some time, just listening to God. After praying a brief prayer for His presence, why don't you sit and wait for Him to respond?

Steps in journeying with God thru "Listening Prayer"

Set aside at least 30 minutes and quiet yourself.
If stray thoughts come to mind, write tem on paper.

Read the Bible, ask the Lord to speak through it in a way you'd understand.

Ask God to protect you from deception.

Write down your question for prayer.

Pause, wait, listen.

God may direct you to another passage of Scripture. He may share a tender word.
Whatever you feel He may be saying, write it down. Ask Him to confirm what HE shared.

Remember that God promised to be "found" when we seek HIm.
God Bless!

Psalmette 77

tonite, I'm in a whirlpool of darkness
i'm in my deepest need

once again I feel at odds with the Father-God.
once again I feel my faith falter
and it's so much that
i cannot take another step
i'm wounded all over,
my soul bruised violet
by the blows of discouragement
and i'm pinned down
by insecurity.

God is my Living Waters
I should not want..
but godly brooks seem far-off
and i'm thirsty -
in the heat of the sun
i'm all dirt and sweat!

God send forth Your word
with lighning speed -
save me from the lies burned deep.
