Prayer to God
How far have I wandered from You, O Lord? Where have I lost my way? The deep things are so far from me and the simple does confuse me. My thoughts are “woe, me” and I am les in thought of You.
O Lord, how I know the delight I have when I am in awe of You. My thoughts were of You or of that which pertains to You all the day long and I have known joy because of it. How do I come back, O Lord? What must I do to be saved? How can I have assurance that I am not utterly cast off from You, Almighty God?
I must abate myself so that You can be the focus of all my day. I must not think on the troubles and the wickedness that continually surrounds me. I absolutely must think only of You and Yours. My whole heart, undivided in thought and emotion, so that my words and my actions can be acceptable as Your will be done in me.
O Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the Earth! Precepts, commandments, laws, and statutes; of these will I meditate all my days.
Oh, how I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love. My comfort, my shelter, You are my tower of refuge and strength. Let every breath, all that I am never cease to worship You. I think of joy for the work of Your hand. Forever I love You and serve You. Forever I’lll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
