Many days I have asked over and over again "y" until today I didn’t want to
accept the fact that I might not like what I would hear. We all ask for God's
undivided attention (as if our problems were that great.) but rarely do we
realize (I speak from self experience.) that he is already focused on us.
I wrote this as a self revelatory and exposing snapshot of
what is burning in me. I’m not pushing my beliefs because I don’t have the
right too. However, if you can gain any thing from this then it has served its
purpose. All go through times of despair and unknowing, whether self-inflicted
or unpredicted. Sometime it seems as though these situations are unavoidable. You
are never alone. Even though I feel physically and emotionally alone I know
spiritually I am not. Not because of my goodness or worthiness. No, far from
that it’s because God is God and he loves all his creation. Even when I don’t love
myself he loves me. I am his whether I like it or not. He made me and he keeps
me. I don’t say this because I claim to know something you don’t. I say this
because I feel it deep inside. When I’m afraid and truly lost I feel him there.
Look closely and you will find him in you.
You alone are God. Help me to embrace
the essence of truth. Through your grace I find the strength to grasp my
failures. All is dark when viewed through my experience. Give me the wisdom to
perceive the path that has been laid before me. Remove the inhibiting numbness
that blinds me. Empower me to cast down the things that cause pain and
resentment. Awaken in me the thirst for your righteousness. Let me stand firm
upon the foundation of love. Establish
in me a hunger for your ways.
You alone are God. You have shown sacrifice.
How can anything I do compare? You alone are great. How can I learn from your example?
Must I be humbled further? How much more do I withhold from you. I’m a selfish being.
It is in my nature. Is it blasphemy if I state that these traits come from you?
You alone are God .All praise is
yours, for you are God. Alone you are standing. How can I rise, walk, and seek your
ways when the weight of my sins entraps me. What needs to be said? What needs
to be done? What has been set in motion?
Is it an answer to prayer, might it be your condemnation or your divine intervention?
Is my distress my curse, my punishment or my deliverance?
You alone are God. Can I know these
things? Am I too slow to grasp and too stubborn to bend. Have I wasted the gifts
you poured into me? Should I ask these things or be content in knowing you are
God. You are God! Where was I when the cosmos was in your mind? I will give you
glory. Will I fail like so many before me? Should I leave all to you , or do
you want me to fight for what I desire. Is what I desire even revealed to me?
You alone are God. Thank you for
showing me; you alone are God.
And you will never leave me alone.
