Praying Through: Psalm 34:9

The Psalm

Psalm 34 (CSB)
⁹ You who are his holy ones, fear the LORD, for those who fear him lack nothing.

The Prayer

The Absolute Longings of my Heart

My God

I have suffered so much due
to all the sin I’ve committed
all the righteous acts that I have failed to do
and all the wickedness done to me.

I was destined to die

I was limited to this world
and it’s smallish pleasures
that fulfill nothing
in my eternal heart.

And because I am a son of Adam

I feared only everything not Godx
My attention was away from you
My gaze was away from your face
My heart flees from you

Capture my heart

Again and again

Capture my love

until I know no other love

Capture my life

until you take me home forever

Tell me your will

so I can do it

Tell me your heart

so I can see if my heart matches
and repent if not

Tell me I am yours forever

so I can be alive
and free in you

Praise your holy name forever
