Closed Until Further Notice

I haven't been writing poetry much lately and I think I need to start doing it on my own time for myself. There is a point when I'm no longer writing to get closer to God and I'm just writing to get a poem every day. So for now I'm not going to be posting anything. If you really like what I've written then please comment and let me know. If people like what I'm writing then I'll be sure to post again when I have more writing. Thank you for understanding and I hope to be back with more writing soon.

Day 49

Thank You for a wonderful day

A good time at work

And the best time catching up with old friends

I had a fantastic saturday

I can’t help feel you had something to do with it

Thank You for listening to me

When I asked for help

And told You what I wanted

You truly are wonderful

Making today a blessing

I can’t thank You enough

Day 48

God give me rest tonight

Show me Your mercy

Pour peace and comfort over Your child

I can’t find time to rest

I need Your help

Your supernatural rest

That You give as a blessing

You are fantastic

Thank You for such a wonderful day

Building relationships and helping me live at my full potential

You make everything great

May I glorify You always

Day 47

Now remember the Lord in your time of distress

Do not fear anything for God is with You

Turn to Him not a little nor some

But turn everything over to Him

Speak your heart boldly

He is listening and desperately wants to hear your desires

So that He may fulfill them and give you much joy

After you have poured out your heart

Wait for a response with expectancy

And follow His will for you

Doing what He commands

Not doing what He refuses you

And wait for more instruction when He says to wait

Trust Him to be with you as you follow His commands

He does not send you away with empty expectations

He walks with you guiding and working in power

Using you in weakness and strength

He is a loving Father who does not refuse His child’s longing

Day 46

Thank You for staying true to Yourself

You always give me another chance

Even though I mess up every time

Your so patient and understanding

I need that grace so much

I feel empty without You

And when I’m finally in Your presence

I know it was worth every sacrifice

If only I could remember that feeling

So I would never turn away

Day 45

God You guide

You bless

If I only ask for help

In every situation

Complete dependence

Relying on Your path

And Your mercies

To lift me up

To grow me in Your character

I trust You

To be here for me

When I need You

I don’t want to worry

I want to trust You

I’m sorry for not believing

That You would come through for me

Help me to pray in power

To ask for help knowing You are here

Day 44

Stress and agony and fear

What have I become

That I feel these so much

Where is your presence

I once knew You

Now I wonder how much I know You

I miss Your closeness

Warming my heart

At the center of the issue

I love You

Please bring me back to You

Drag me

Pull me

Whatever it takes

I want to come back home

I’m desperate for You

I need You to be strong

I need You to be wise

I am nothing without You

My God, My Lord, My Father

I bow before You prostrated

You deserve much honor and praise

How could I ever please You

Save me from myself

I’m sorry it took this long

Bring me back

Breathe life into me again

Day 43

Build up Your kingdom in this place

Grow up a foundation

To lead many and hold their faith

A strong foundation

Humble and willing to serve

May your people be a blessing to this earth.

Lead your army to victory

There is no greater leader

Then you, oh mighty God

Speaking to each heart in truth

Leading out of love

No other god has such beautiful character

Day 42

Beautiful savior

Mighty resolve

I Love You forever

-

You are an amazing God

I love You

I don’t know if I’m just tired

Or spiritually drained

I know You’re with me

That’s all I need

When I’m with You

Everything else falls into place

Day 41

I need You

I miss You

Please straighten out my priorities

Putting You first

Then whatever is important to You next

I’m tired of not using my time wisely

Help me to not feel like everything has to be perfect

Day 40

Thank you for giving me inspiration

When I really need it

And I don’t even have the faith

To think You would answer right away

Praise You Lord

I Love You

Day 39

You are so faithful

Why do I leave You so often

I just walk away

Like nothing’s happened

Like I never knew You

I don’t want to forget

You are everything I need

But I keep wanting less than You

It’s appealing but it leaves a bad taste

You didn’t always look the best

But I’ve never tasted a sweeter thing than Your presence

Surrounding me

I love You so much

God I commit myself again

To You and Your cause

Not my pleasure or rest

But Your glory

Refresh my mind

I’ve been selfish

I push You aside

I want to be back

By Your side

Walking hand in hand

Love me

Day 38

I just got done

Now there’s more to do

I can’t keep putting stuff on myself

An essay, a speech

Now another essay

What do I do

Do I keep pushing

Keep writing?

How much farther can I go

Before it’s too much

You have so much for me

I almost wish You trusted me less

I don’t want to be lazy

I don’t want to procrastinate

But how do I relax and take time for myself

With work yet to be done

HELP ME

Teach me to rest

Day 37

You always love me

And You always come through

Remind me to ask for help

To ask for grace

I need you

I want to express myself

Asking for my needs to be met

Because You want to help me

You want to bless and love me

Don’t let me forget

I can turn to You

You are good in all things

But You like to be asked

Whoever heard of a passive God

Humble and willing

You are so much greater

Then I’ll ever be

Praise You Lord

You never cease to amaze

Sabboth

You might have noticed that I haven't posted in a few days. I won’t make any excuses but I just want to explain where I’m at right now. I’ve been really busy lately with school, church, and work. Right now I’m trying to prioritize and figure out what I need to be involved in and what I need to leave. I will continue to write for the foreseeable future incase your worried about that. However, I do need to take a break every once and a while. So if I don’t write for a day or two don’t worry I should be back soon.

The title says Sabbath. To me it doesn’t mean a designated day of rest but merely a time for me to relax and build my strength again. Sometimes this means not focusing on writing and focusing on sleep, reading, spending time with God and playing games. I believe God took a day of rest to show us that it’s okay to take a break from work. Not only is it okay but it is necessary if we want to function properly. I’m trying to fallow this not to be lazy but to do the best I can when I am working. Along with enjoying life to the fullest.

Day 36

Thank You God

For staying true to Yourself

Even when I didn’t think You would

I didn’t believe in Your goodness

How could I have forgotten Your grace

You gave me peace and inspiration

While I went and wasted my time

It’s not about me

You can use anyone

I’m no one special

Still You chose me to do Your work

Why me? I fail

I’m not perfect

Thank You for renewing my faith in You

Goodnight God

I’ll see You in the morning

Day 35

God thank You for loving me

Even before I was covered by Your son

You knew me

In my evil

Everything about me

Was counter to who You are

Yet You loved me

You still love me

And I don’t understand why or how

You love me more

Then your son

Who was perfect

He was exactly like You

In character and love

Yet you had a perfect man die

So the imperfect

Who You loved already

Could thrive with You

Why would You want

Something so ugly

In Your glorious presence

I don’t understand

Please reveal Your love for me

So I might know and believe

Give me faith to know

You are love

You love every man, woman, and child

Whether covered by Your son or not

You love always and forever

Thank You Lord

Day 34

Hey Daddy

I got a speech tomorrow

I’d really like it

If You came and supported me

Thanks

You’re the best

Good night Daddy

Day 33

Holy God

Blessed Redeemer

My savior is Lord

God You give me rest

You provide strength

You give me Your words

Not my own

I am filled with truth

May Your blessings flow from my lips

So I may be a prophet in Your name

I want You to speak through me

Quiet my soul

I want to worship You

Through my life

Praise You Lord

Father God

Day 32

My lovely Lord

I give praise and worship

I would ask for rest

But I know You will provide it

I would as for guidance

But I see it everywhere

I would ask for forgiveness

But every moment I am renewed

I just want to say thank You

I have been blessed

By my Lord almighty

Glorious is He

Who saved me

I am ever grateful

I reached out to You

To hold Your hand

And kiss Your signet ring

My king I honor You

I worship to please You

I live my life to seek You

Heaven on earth

When I’m worshiping You

Please build our relationship

Make it even more beautiful

I love Your smile

When Your pleased with me

I love you Daddy

Day 31

O’ blessed creator

God of all

Maker of heaven and earth

I shrivel in comparison to Your glory

My precious Savior

How can I repay You

Even the earth glorifies You

In all its majesty

How can I glorify You

In this sinful flesh

How can I follow You

Into your kingdom

How can I lead others

To see Your beautiful face

Shining bright with love

Your shekinah glory burns bright

So warm to the touch

Yet so soothing and soft

You are too good to be true

Then I feel your presence

And I’m reminded

No matter how small I am

I am everything to You

I am loved

Glory be unto God

In the highest

The angels sing Your name

All of nature reflects Your beauty

I only hope my surrender

Will reflect Your love

Day 30

Your promises abound

You teach of love and grace

Guiding me in peace

I pray Your love over me

I pray rest and patience

I pray that I would live in moderation

I pray in Your Spirit

And in Jesus Christ

Your blessing over me

That Your righteous power

Will work in my life

I pray that nothing would be more important to me

Than You and the people in my life

I pray that you would teach me

Your thoughts and ways

I want to know you intimately

Day 29

Praise You God my blessed redeemer

Thank You for Your promises

And teaching me Your path

You are so good

What more can I ask for

Thank Your graciousness

I Love You

I’m led on a straight path

With railings to keep me on it

The only way off is for me to jump or stop walking

You are so good

I can never leave you by mistake

The freedom to choose

I choose the wonderful

Life You have for me

Day 28

God touch me

Give me rest and peace

I love You

You are my God

You are my strength

I love You

Day 27

God please give me inspiration

In school and life

I need your ideas

To fallow Your brilliance

I need You

I can’t come up with the ideas You give me

They come to my mind

But I know better

Than to think I did that

You are my source

I need You

Please guide me

Not only provide brilliant ideas

But pour a blessing

On what I do

That it might always bring You glory

Help me to trust that whatever I decide You will be in it

Even if You don’t directly tell me

Give me faith in Your goodness

I want to know Your truth

And live out Your path for me

Thank You for being faithful

Day 26

God You show me how to dance

How to praise You

There is none other

I’d rather dance for

Thank You

Standing before you

Seeing Your smile

As I start to worship

Expressing my joy

And my love from being with You

Your heavenly kiss on my forehead

As a father to His son

When bestowing on Him

His birthright

As Isaac did to Jacob

God does to me

Except I come

In his Son’s clothing

Surrounded by Jesus

Covered by His blood

I come not as my sinful self

But as His Son

Ready to receive my inheritance

Day 25

Thank You God for giving me rest

For giving me friends

Who I can confide in

Trust and have faith with

Thank You for blessing me

With a family that loves You

Thank You for my girlfriend

Who encourages me

And keeps me on Your path

Thank You for all the gifts

You’ve empowered me to use

Thank You for Your faith

I can’t imagine my life without You

Thank You for giving me a purpose

And making my life worth living

Life was so empty without You

Now I know I’m loved

I know I can make a difference

And I know I will spend eternity with You
