My Own Psalm

O LORD, you manifest yourself in mysterious ways.

In the chaos, you are a whisper.
In the silence, you are a roar.

I was plagued with shame,
And you washed me with kindness.

I was filled with guilt,
And you filled it with laughter.

My heart was restless,
And you filled me with peace.

My worries seemed so big,
Your ocean was bigger.

How do you do it?
How do you love me so well?
How do you know when I need rest?
How do you know what fills me up?

You are my Creator.
You know the perfect recipe.
You know the perfect ways.

Father, I come back and I am still feeling empty.
I feel insecure, scared and unsure of where I'm at.
I need your help.
Help me to not ever believe that I can do things without You.

Help me to find satisfaction in You.
Help me to realize that my security should come only from You. 
Help me to rid myself of the things that hold me down.

Remove from me the enemies words.
Replace them with Your Holy Spirit's confidence.
Rid the thorns,
Replace them with roses.

Be my true Escape.
Be my Paradise.
Be my Ocean.

Take my hand,
Plant my roots next to your Living Water.

Be my solitude,
Be my song,
Be my longing,
Be my everything.

Selah
