My Book of Psalms

My heart is heavy I can feel the weight on my chest This is what it means to take up my cross This is suffering with Christ You have suffered more than this This is my cross to bear  I thank you for salvation I thank you for the strength to carry on I thank you for the opportunity this is Thank you forgiving me just enough  Thank you for my daily bread God, help me to come to you  Help me to seek you first Help me to desire you most Help me to come to you I know that you have all I need That you are the provider  You know what I need Even before I know what I need  You’ve already got a plan  A plan to provide more than I need Enough that I can share with others God provide me that strength Provide me with your strength I will give you the glory  This is not my own strength I live by This is your strength  Continue to provide for me Continue to strengthen me As I continue to praise you...

I’m tired and weary I feel like I’m fighting old battles These are done right?  I thought we moved past this I’m still fighting these?! I can’t do this anymore! I can’t bear this weight any longer Am I being punished for my righteousness? I am innocent of these crimes I am no longer the criminal I was Still I have to suffer consequences Old crimes. Old charges. New warrant.  This time I did nothing but get blamed Fear had a grip on me then I saw light I saw and felt overwhelming peace I was relieved. I am alive. I rejoiced.  Now the consequences are settling  Now the suffering begins Would it have been better had I died? Surely not! God, you saved me.  You are in control. Surely there is reason.  Surely you have a purpose for me here You are my strong tower I will cling to you for rest and peace When all around me my world is falling apart, I will hide myself away in you Restore my soul, O God....
