Reflections of the heart

July 31, 2010

distance..

Darkness corrupted my thoughts
as I wandered into worry,
further straying from my hope.
                        As I prayed my mind was changed;
                                    as I prayed I awoke.

  This was no vision directing me
and no self-determined command.
 I felt a gentle voice become a breeze and
guide me to my peace<3

  I saw the devil a morning ago.
he was dancing in my sorrows as I tried to
let him go.
  Oh, that false comfort of misery!
surrounding me with its warmth.
 I felt his sticky poison seep into my skull.

My heart was steady pounding 
and fighting off his pull.
I'd felt to ashamed to call for help
or use my fathers shield.


The voice of wind had faded because I had
shut the door.
but the voice of the wind had not ceased, I had
left the path and bent.

     BUT THEN....
 I remembered how he promised, to prosper and protect.
 I reflected on his promise, to prosper and protect.

Oh, god! I need you more than I can bear.
Without you I'm so lost and in desperate need and care.
Oh, Father! I can see you!
you are really just right here...

  I had never been abandoned I had only shut out the light.
 So I sought his company and he delivered me to my sight..


Today was a day that began with the devils lies. He's beaten me down the past few weeks and I felt to weakened and pathetic to ask GOD to remove his attacks. It's funny how even if you know the truth you can fall into a place where your willing to not accept it. I know GOD is always wanting to be asked for help and guidance IN ALL situations. However the pride of man often keeps us from utilizing that amazing tool of praying that his holy spirit speak to us and deliver us. 

Tonight I mustered up the strength to really listen to what GOD was answering to my prayers. And I went to church and was ministered to in a way that had my soul burning on fire.  It was an amazing experience and I received through FAITH a strength that I've felt before when I first came to know the LORD.  

PRAYER. This is the simple act of asking, speaking or surrendering to the FATHER through faith in his son (who was the living god) Jesus Christ. Through the death of CHRIST we receiver the HOLY SPIRIT and this is our guide and direct link to GOD while we are on earth awaiting his kingdom. I CANNOT tell you just how faithful my GOD is because its really indescribable. All i can say is when we choose to come to him wholeheartedly in ANY TRIAL or SITUATION he will DELIVER US!!! HE WILL.  AHHH I'm so blessed to have the lord and his faithfulness.

Through him I have learned to love and that is such an amazing comfort because I have lived with a barrier of "PROTECTION" from others around me for so long and lost so many people from the high walls I'd built that I was ready to give up and barricade myself in my own personal box of hopelessness. 

I had no real purpose of this other than to just exclaim the excitement of my current situation and stage in my walk with anyone listening or reading. :) 

thank you and please BE BLESSED..

i'm really glad you posted this! It has actually convicted me. My prayer life hasn't been the best and I need to get on that. We do tend to forget to use this "amazing tool" like you described. It's shameful...but in the end..by God's grace...we are never forgotten and we can alwas come back and start over. He is awesome.
