The Psalm
The Prayer
My Heart
I have spent most of my life
chasing after the world
wanting what the world is offering
and falling for the temptations of Satan
every single time.
I yearn after my own lusts
and my desires
because surely this will make me secure
surely this will keep me safe
surely that this will protect my heart from all harm.
But it didn't
and my world fell apart
and I had nothing
and I was nothing.
I have been foolish and ignorant before you
But how did you respond?
You saved me
and lifted me to you
and I stare into your eyes
and I cannot leave you
even if I tried.
Who else do I have in this life?
Where else do I go?
Where else does my salvation come from?
Who else has the words for eternal life?
Just you
my only, only Lord Jesus.
Amen.
