Praying Through: Psalm 23:6b Mercies

The Psalm

Psalm 23:6b (CSB) faithful love

The Prayer

O Lord,

Tender mercies,

you have given me
every single day that I life. I was so far from you
from your will
and your flock
and your heart.

But I was never more

than a mere breath away
from your mercies for me.

Even in my wickedness,

your kindness towards me
was your continuous call
for me to come home to you.

My God,

Keep me close to your heart
and do not let me stray.
What little I know of my heart,
I know it wants to flee from you.

You, my God,

keep your children close.
Never let me go.
Do what you must
so I can spend all of my days
with you.

I love you, Lord.

and I lift my voice
to worship you.
Forevermore.
