A song from the valley…

A valley dark and deep ,

never seen before.

I lift my hands to you,

I cant be alone .

Journey …through this narrow lane is of pain,

full of mystery.

When I am in this valley

I seek for you, more and more

more and more…

This valley makes me dry

takes my whole courage,

It is of deep agony…

No one likes in there

not prepared to pause,

IMPOSSIBLE to turn around.

Don’t know the depth of it

and can’t come out alone…

OH FATHER…. I CLING TO YOU.

take me to the shore.

Please do not leave me alone.

He answered me in His Majesty

“HERE I AM so close to you;

I shall be your guide-

your soul shall not dismay.

My light shall rise for you in obscurity

and my bread will satisfy  your souls drought.”

Diligently I sought him for an answer;

“ when will my night  turn into noon?

and it echoed in my soul

“ it will be way quick .”

Just as I was reminded of His grace

enormous before me to handle,

I confronted to him my last piece of puzzle

Where am I in this valley?

I am unaware of my position;

Did I just enter or am I nearing the exit?

I am unable to see the depth:

nor could I see the end of my way.

His consoling words ringed in my ears,

“Do you really need to worry about that-

when its my strength that prevails you

till the very end of this journey?

Nothing can endanger you,

when you are nestled by my spirit.

And he assured me one thing

I won’t be put  back in my old habitat

when I come out victorious -

from that dreadful valley,

but will be like a well-watered garden,

like a spring whose waters never fail…

Insecurity

Am i insecure i asked myself?

‘no’ was the abrupt answer from my mind.

I pondered  deep, till i found -

a precise answer which conceded  “yes”.  

Many times I speculated my vulnerabilities

but, was not ready to admit my fears.

Insecurity  attacked me abruptly

fear grew with no reason.

My soul groaned within me with despair

for a real reason or pursuit for my life?

I felt my base is shaken ,

and don’t have a place to lean on.

My mind  fluttered away from me

with  unforgiving thoughts of  past ,

and questions about my future;

till I found comfort in your word.

Your word is a cool breeze that lightens the air..

It eased my rage, my fear, my pain.

You know the very thing,

What this mere man is made of?

a heart with no strength;

and   numbered days.

As i opened the book

it talked to me” fear not”

If you dwell in my shelter

in the shadow of the Almighty

“I will cover you with my feathers,

and under my wings you will find refuge;

My faithfulness will be your shield and rampart”

Like a child in the arms of his mother

I was nestled and comforted by your word.

You have engraved me upon your hands

I am safe and secure there.

I thank you God today ,

for the understanding you granted.

Here I submit myself 

with this giant leap of faith,

I expose in your presence all my pain ,

fear and haunting thoughts.

I am ready to leave them behind.

Pour the healing oil of our your spirit

in all my pain and hurt.

Father mend  the broken parts of this unworthy vessel

to pursue the fullness of my life.

.

I know only you can do this Father…

In Christ Jesus

   If you are seeking deliverance from insecurity in your life..Meditate the following verses from Psalm 34.

⁴ I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
       he delivered me from all my fears.

⁵ Those who look to him are radiant;
       their faces are never covered with shame.

⁶ This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
       he saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷ The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
       and he delivers them.

⁸ Taste and see that the LORD is good;
       blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

⁹ Fear the LORD, you his saints,
       for those who fear him lack nothing.

¹⁰ The lions may grow weak and hungry,
       but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

May God bless you.

A morning prayer…………

 

When the beauty of this world unfolds your glory…
I adore you Father, for your works are marvelous…
Your hands have carved the hills and the valleys,
the oceans and the creeks and streams.

Help me each day to see this beauty
That wraps the identity of each creation…
Fill my emptiness with your love,
And let my prayers be in total submission.

The pathways of life were mystic and mysterious to my eyes;
But you made me know it’s your plan and purpose…
As each pathway unwinds, it reveals your glory
And the depth of your love for me; my Father…

Your word is a breath of fresh air,
In this uncertain world of impossibilities,
This day teach me to trust you;
and show me the perfect understanding of your will in my life.

At the dawn of this beautiful day…
I am thankful to you for your divine peace.
Let your serenity fill my spirit and help me,
Overcome all my uncertainties…

In Christ Jesus
