My Prayer

Lord, God Almighty, Father,
         You are my fortress. In you I live for You are my home.
I praise Your name for the blessings You have given to me.
I praise Your name for the blessings You have for me.
Thank You for Your sovereign hand over me.
You have never forsaken me Lord so why this doubt welling up inside of me?
When have I gone hungry? When have I been homeless.
When have you not provided for me?
What have I to fear when You have proved Yourself to me time and time again?
You are my shepherd and I your sheep.
Thank You for leading me beside still waters so that I will not drown.
You protect me from the wolves and lions.
Praise to you God who is holy and righteous!
You have not abandoned me.
Bring back that peace to me.
Calm my soul and cradle me in your bosom like a helpless baby.
Let me be full of you again.
Quiet my mind and spirit. Let me be still in you.
Shut out the voices of  the false prophets manipulating me with their lies.
And shut out the voices of others tempting me into doing their will.
I will not listen to their voices but only hear what You, Lord my God will have me do.
You remind me that I am more important than the birds of the air and the lilies of the field.
Holy is Your name.
               In Jesus' name I praise
                         Amen.
