Lord - I love You. I want and need more of You. Please teach me Your grace so much that I desire to show it to others out of overflow (instead of judgment!). Lord - I want to lean hard on Your grace - over my lean on others' judgement, over my own fight for security, safety. Left to myself, I will not do life justice, Lord. I will be lame; my fears will come true; I will be stagnant. Please move me with the heartbeat of Your very own. Let us be together, as You and Jesus are together. Holy Spirit, You have sealed me, oh please fill me to overflow!

My Psalm to the LORD
To You alone I will sweetly sing & boldly declare:
Perfect Father – You are my all.
Faithful Husband – How do you stay with your whore bride?
Oh I love You. I love You.
Oh Lord, these lies I believe!
Somehow I still hear them – what am I to do?
Lies. Horror. Terror. Deceit. Fear.
They keep me alone, they keep me down, they put distance between me and You.
Turn my protective walls of a fortress into Your mighty Kingdom!
I am Yours. You are mine. You are near.
May I tremble at the closeness of your Presence!
Let me just drink it in!
Lord, I have hidden myself from others.
I have taken my white sheet and covered me up, but I am still there, just below this thin sheet.
Self-protection. Pride. Shame. Loneliness. Judgment. Fear.
Self-Protection and Fear have been my gods.
Against You and You alone have I sinned.
Father, please rip away this white sheet of protection!
It keeps me committed to my gods.
It keeps me from You.
I don’t want to be apart from You! I don’t want to trust anything more than You!
I resign! I don’t want to be my own Savior!
Only You Lord! ONLY You!
Wrap me in Your Presence.
I am Your precious Daughter! Hold me near!
Lord, I will lie down in the midst of the city. I will stand in the middle of destruction.
I will go into the wilderness. I will enter chaos.
If that is where you go, I will go too.
I lie down and see your light all around me. Where you go, I will go.
Lord, reach out to me! Help me to reach to You!
I cannot do this alone. I cannot run this race without You.
Oh Lord, hold my hand. Let us be ever so close.
Even closer as the days pass. I want to know more of You.
Overwhelm me with Your Presence! Surprise me with Your Reign.
God reigns! My Perfect Father reigns! My Faithful Husband is KING!
And He is my Savior; I need You. My Counselor, I cherish You.
Perfect Father, You fill me. Spirit, You never leave me.
You are my Master, I will not go free! You are my King, I will put my face to the ground!
You deliver me from darkness and keep me in Your light.
And You do it again and again – I rest my hope in Your Deliverance.
Holy Savior, Perfect Father, Precious and Powerful Spirit, I love You! Keep me near!
Perfect Father – You are my all.
Faithful Husband – How do you stay with your whore bride?
Oh I love You. I love You.

Perfect Father, who knows me, provides for me, loves me unconditionally, forgives me, disciplines me, holds me, saves me...be with me today.
Holy Spirit, who moves me, gives breath to me, convicts me, knows God's will & prays for it on my behalf (thank you so much for that)...help me feel your presence today, open my eyes to your greater things.
Jesus, I love you. Thank you for making God known to me, thank you for being my Teacher and showing me more and more of God. Thank you for doing the unthinkable, for coming to the brokenness in the world, coming to my brokenness, and not waiting for or expecting me to do what I am unable to do: to save myself through word or actions. Thank you for knowing how much I need You and going to the cross so that I could have more of You and see more of God. I love you.
Please Lord, be with me today. Wake me up to Your will and Your presence. Thank you Lord for the desire You have given me for You...thank you for the urgency to take a shorter shower today so that I could have more time with You. Thank you for this amazing weekend, for time of rest, for a friend that cares about what is going on in my life, for sharing Your glorious way with me through the way you love my friends. Thank you Lord, for opening the door to let others in to what You and I share, for urging me to give a voice to the intimate life You and I share and the thoughts You stir within me. Oh I love You. Help me to want You more than all the other things I think I want more of. Spirit, it is in You that I have life and breath...Jesus You want me to have life and to have it abundantly (John 10:10). Lord, please wake me up from my dead ways. Father, I trust You to defend and protect me from the thief in the world and the lies he tells me. I need Your gospel truth Lord, oh thank you for being Who I can turn to when I hear the lies! I love you Lord!
