Psalm of Trust

Source: hersheyfree.com

The Lord is my Partner,

I need not be frantic.

He provides my peace of mind,

He removes my tiredness.

He is forever faithful even when I wander.

He sends angels in disguise to correct and guide me.

 

Although I walk among the cynics, and hate mongers,

even on the evening news when I see a young man

beaten and left like a scarecrow to die on a fencepost,

I am not controlled by fear and irritability.

In consolation and desolation, You teach and comfort me.

 

You prepare a life for me in the presence of my  skeptics.

You provide more of this world’s goods than

I could ever stuff in my closet.

My heart overflows.

 

Your care and concern are palpable to me.

Your forgiveness total,

No person has seen You and lived.

I long to be with You forever,

To finally see You, and live.
